"Heh" The emperor laughed meaninglessly, looking at her face, it has not changed much from when she came, but the image in his heart has undergone an earth-shattering reversal.

After half a ring, he himself wondered, "Why would I want you to be my concubine?" ”

Chu Ruojun shook his head gently, he didn't know the answer himself, how would she know.

She bowed down with her skirt, "The courtiers retreated." ”

The emperor stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Chu Ruojun, do you remember that I saved you and invited you to eat beef noodles." ”

Chu Ruojun nodded, "Yes." ”

She still remembered the first time she ascended to the court and was surprised to see that the noble son who claimed to be Yuanhe turned out to be the emperor.

The emperor let out an indescribable sigh, and the illusion brought to him by the passage of time made him think that the unruly eldest lady of the Chu family was still in front of him, not Chu Ruojun, who had been on the battlefield and experienced love and hatred.

Everything has changed a long time ago.

"Let's go down." The emperor finally said slowly, with a hint of tiredness in his voice.

Chu Ruojun bowed down and saluted again, and then left without looking back.

The emperor watched her figure gradually walking away, cocooned himself in the questions he left, and said to himself: "I don't love her, why do you want her to be my concubine?" ”

"With her appearance, how can she capture Hongchou Shen Yi and Lin Changtian?" The emperor pondered for a while, how many women couldn't ask for these men, why did they just bend on her.

Outside the palace gate, she saw Shang Yunrou waiting there, she was slightly stunned, glanced around, and made sure that there was no one else.

She must have been waiting for herself.

Shang Yunrou was also slightly stunned when she saw her come out, but she quickly reacted and called softly: "Miss Chu." ”

Chu Ruojun's gaze was a little complicated.

This should be the good match that the emperor chose for Lin Changtian.

"I heard that Miss Shang has become an official, congratulations." Chu Ruojun said expressionlessly.

"The emperor should make you a concubine, but it seems that Miss Chu has retreated." Shang Yunrou's eyes flashed with a little light.

Chu Ruojun smiled slightly, "Accident?" ”

Shang Yunrou shook her head gently, "I'm waiting for you here, I just expected the answer." ”

"You're looking for me?" Chu Ruojun raised her eyebrows.

"It's not a problem." Shang Yunrou said softly, "I just want to meet you." ”

"Heh" Chu Ruojun chuckled, not knowing what to say.

"Where are you going?"

"Suzhou."

"Why are you going?"

"Wait for someone."

"Like that guy?"

Chu Ruojun smiled, "I don't know, I've been brothers since I was a child, but I want to fight and make trouble until I get old." ”

Shang Yunrou pursed her lips and did not speak.

"What about you, do you want to spend the rest of your life with him?" Chu Ruojun glanced at her without the slightest hostility.

"Yes, I want to think about it." The corners of Shang Yunrou's lips curved a little, "I dream of it." ”

"Haha, I won't give it to you." Chu Ruojun raised her chin, "But you can try to grab it." ”

Shang Yunrou gently hooked the hair around her ears behind her ears, "Actually, I envy you." ”

"Oh?" Chu Ruojun was puzzled: "How can I say this." ”

"My father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he really thinks that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but he also understands that I can only marry a good family if I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I read eulogies, and I am full of poetry but I can't show my talent." Shang Yunrou glanced at her as she spoke, and Chu Ruojun smiled, "We are really similar in this regard." ”

There is no place for martial arts, but there is no place for it.

She continued: "I saw you when I was a teenager, when my mother and I went to visit Mrs. Lin in the Lin Mansion, and saw you in the backyard, your brother, and Lin Changtian, they are so good to you, you are dangling on the tree, Lin Changtian is peeling citrus under the tree, your brother is peeling chestnuts in front of the stone table, and then they are all handed to your mouth, you live so wantonly. ”

"And I only have a younger brother who is not angry, my father often breaks his heart for him, scolds him for not being angry, I take the poems I wrote to please my father, and my father tears it apart without reading it." Shang Yunrou's throat was sour, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Later, my father asked me to accompany my younger brother to study, and if my younger brother couldn't read well, I would be punished together, and even more severely, and then they finally found that my younger brother couldn't help him, so they used my poems to preach that they were written by my younger brother." ”

It was supposed to be their own glory and praise, but it was all replaced by another person.

"Do you understand that kind of brother took the money he worked so hard to save, I quarreled with him but was scolded by my parents, and the girl didn't go out, what did she do with the money." Shang Yunrou's voice was mixed with a hint of crying, "I also saw you on the street later, and I casually bought a gadget for a dozen taels of silver and forgot to take it, I was so envious of you at that time, that is the money I want to save for a whole year, my father is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, how can he have no money, but he is unwilling to spend it on me." ”

Chu Ruojun looked at her deeply, her mind was complicated, but she didn't know what to say.

"But now it's fine." Shang Yunrou's eyes were red, her eyes were shining with tears, but she smiled at Chu Ruojun, "I have obtained fame, I have my own money, and I have met the envoy of the Jin State who came to Chen State before, I have always heard that the Jin people are very domineering and like to monopolize, but I didn't expect that they don't mind whether a woman is married or not, and I once inadvertently rubbed my shoulders with a man on the street, and after my father found out, he scolded me for not having a clean arm, and almost cut off my arm that carried a pen." ”

Chu Ruojun couldn't help frowning when she heard this, looking distressed.

"So I was thinking at that time, Miss Chu, although your reputation is not very good, there is nothing at all in the eyes of the Jin people, it is completely normal, but my vision was too small and my knowledge was too little." Shang Yun looked at her softly and warmly, "Although I thank you for everything you have done for us, but I'm sorry, forgive me for being selfish, I really like Lin Changtian and I really want to be with him, you have so many men who like it, why do you have to do this one." ”

Chu Ruojun let out a long breath, she patted Shang Yunrou on the shoulder, she was really a distressing girl.

At least it looks gentle.

One with a pen and the other with a sword, they also cut through thorns and thorns, and if they hadn't stood on the opposite side, they might have become friends.

"Yunrou, you don't understand." Chu Ruojun pursed her lips, "If a man insists on chasing a woman, the woman will be with him because he is moved, but the man is different, he will not compromise because he is moved, no matter how good you are to him, if you don't like it, you don't like it." ”

Shang Yunrou glanced at her, bit her lip and didn't speak.

"If you don't believe me, try it and you'll know." Chu Ruojun smiled casually, "You may still be the one who will be sad at that time." ”

"I'm leaving." Chu Ruojun glanced at her, then turned around and strode away.

Shang Yunrou looked at her back and stayed in place for a while, before she left in a state of flux.

When she returned home, her mother immediately greeted her and asked urgently, "How is it, how is it, has the Chu family entered the palace?" ”

Shang Yunrou shook her head and gently spit out two words: "No." ”

The lady clapped her hands hatefully, and continued to ask, "Did she anger the emperor and be locked up?" ”

"Not either."

Madame chopped her feet in annoyance, and her face immediately sank, "Chu's fox is really not ordinary. ”

Shang Yunrou listened quietly and did not speak.

"This woman, who is not contaminated with so many men, has long been a broken shoe, and she still occupies Lin Shaoshuai." Madame's tone was slow, but with a hint of sharpness and viciousness, "I'm ashamed of her!" She deserves to die on the battlefield and never come back. ”

Shang Yunrou felt a thorn in her heart, looked at her wife expressionlessly for a long time, and then said slowly: "Why do you curse people like this, how many people and men does she have an affair with, and what does she have to do with you." ”

Mrs. "You" was choked by her, obviously facing her, why didn't she appreciate it.

It just so happened that when his younger brother, who had been wandering around for a long time, came back, he smiled and unfolded the folding fan, and as soon as he came over, the strong incense on his body could make people dizzy.

"Sister, I heard that the Chu family went back without anything." He sneered, "Look at you, you still like Young Marshal Lin, don't give it to others as concubines for nothing." ”

One sentence was enough to make Shang Yunrou collapse and burst into tears.

She roared with tears in her eyes, "This is my business, what are you worried about?" ”

Before the younger brother was angry, the lady's face immediately sank, "Yun Rou, my brother is concerned about you, how can you talk like this, hurry up and compensate your younger brother." ”

As soon as the words fell, the younger brother, who was sitting on the stool and drinking tea leisurely, hooked the corners of his lips proudly.

"I'm not wrong, why should I pay for it." Shang Yunrou's voice was full of crying, and the tip of her nose was red.

However, there seems to be a flame burning under the eye.

"Do you think it's great to get a little fame?" Madame's gaze was cold and detached, "Let me tell you, your monthly income is not enough to buy a dress for your brother, what is there to be proud of." ”

Shang Yunrou secretly clenched her fists, her fingertips clasped deep in the palm of her hand, and she only felt that she couldn't speak.

She suddenly felt disheartened.

"My husband, buy clothes for my brother?" She couldn't help but laugh at her mother's angry face, "That's my money." ”

"What's yours, aren't they all younger brothers', you are so big, you pay for food, drink, clothing and housing, what's wrong with using your money now?" Madame looked distressed, "Why are you so ignorant,"

"Hehe" She curled the corners of her lips sneeringly, and wanted to fight, "Look at Miss Chu, the money rewarded by the emperor, General Chu didn't move at all." ”

"That's General Chu has no son." She looked right.
