Only then did Yu Mingxi realize how inappropriate his behavior was just now, and his ears immediately turned red.

"That...... I, I'm not...... It's not meant to be abrupt to you. I'm ...... you When you're a brother, forget you're a woman......"

Yu Mingxi was incoherent, the first half of the sentence was fine, and after the second half of the sentence was finished, he couldn't wait to bite his tongue off.

"Bah, look at my mouth, I'm ...... I don't mean that, I'm ...... I'm ......."

"Forget it, I know you didn't mean to." If he flattened his eyes, he hid a little gloom in his eyes.

"Yu Gongzi, can you please help me find out about this? The master is not in the capital now, and I can't leave for the time being. ”

"What are you doing so politely, I'll just check it for you." This is the first time Ruoping has solemnly called him "Jade Gongzi", and Yu Mingxi has always been treated roughly, and he is still a little uncomfortable.

"Also, can you draw the tulip flowers, I'...... I want to compare. Ruoping grabbed the hem of his shirt with both hands and lowered his head, as if he was still worried about the embarrassment just now.

"Okay, I'll draw it." Yu Mingxi had never seen Ruoping's shyness before, and he felt novel for a while, so he couldn't help but look at it twice. When Ruoping raised his eyes to look at him, he quickly looked away, took a pen and paper, lowered his head and began to paint.

After a pillar of incense, Yu Mingxi put down the pen and handed the piece of paper with a flower to Ruoping: "I'm not good at Danqing, I can only draw a rough sketch, you can see if it's you...... That one. ”

Ruoping took it, stared at it for a moment, and frowned slightly: "The shape is quite similar, but it's just ...... Mine is fiery red. ”

"The flowers are mostly white, and they are extremely fragrant, but they bloom very late. There is a way that several volumes of broken books are fragrant, and the flowers in the garden are all gone. There are very few red turnips, I haven't seen them. However, it is possible to color and look at it again. ”

Yu Mingxi re-adjusted the crimson, took the painting from Ruoping's hand, and carefully colored it.

The red flowers gradually jumped onto the paper, and Ruoping couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder.

"Like?" Yu Mingxi saw her looking at the flower in a daze, and asked softly.

Ruoping came back to his senses and hurriedly put his hand down: "Well, it may be about the same." This one...... Can I do it? ”

"Wait a minute." Yu Mingxi mentioned two lines of small words next to the flower, and then said, "I've known you for so long, and I haven't given you anything, so this painting should be a small gift." ”

"Well, thank you Yu Gongzi."

"Heh, when did it become so polite." Yu Mingxi laughed and said, "As long as Miss Ruoping doesn't always treat me coldly in the future, I will be content." ”

"If you weren't always thinking about prying at the corner of my master, why would I do this to you." Ruoping regained his previous momentum and ridiculed each other.

Yu Mingxi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Murong Chu's big iceberg is really a good fate, his daughter-in-law is dead set on him, and even his subordinates always defend him." ”

"Although the master is a little stricter, he is very good to people, which of our subordinates has not received his favor? Just like our sister and brother, if it weren't for the master's rescue and take-in, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago. ”

Yu Mingxi also knew a little about the life experience of Ruoping's sister and brother, he sighed lightly, and asked instead, "What are your plans?" ”

Ruoping raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "When I was a child, Ah Ming and I didn't suffer hardship, and at that time, we were very envious of those children who were loved by their parents. After being taken in by the master, I think it's good to be with those brothers. I asked you to help me check this matter, just to confirm my origin. As for the future ......, let's take it one step at a time. In fact, I am quite willing to continue this life, and in a few years, I will marry a daughter-in-law for Amin, and I will have nothing to worry about. ”

"What about yourself?"

"Me?" Ruoping's lips twitched a few times, but in the end he just shook his head.

……

It was almost dusk, in the main courtyard of the Bac Ninh Palace, the Lu family was lying on the couch, and three full days passed, except for the two maids, no one came.

The light in the room gradually dimmed, the door was gently opened from the outside, Lu Shi didn't even roll her eyes, and continued to stare directly at the top of the tent, she knew that it was the maid who came in to take charge of the lamp.

Sure enough, the two maids lit the candles on the candlesticks, removed the untouched lunch, and set the newly cooked meal on the table.

One of them said, "Princess, please eat." ”

The Lu family was still motionless, and he didn't even give them a look.

The maid didn't say much, and withdrew directly.

The gold threads on the curtain shimmer in the candlelight, showing luxury. This is Lu's favorite curtain tent, rich and atmospheric, lining the whole house to look a little magnificent.

Now behind this luxury, there is infinite coldness and silence. She is the only one here, not only did the prince not come, but her only son also did not come.

At first, she thought that Murong Jingzhong had ordered not to let people visit, but yesterday she tried to tell the maids who came to deliver the food, and asked them to pass the word to Murong Qi and ask him to come to see her. The maid didn't refuse her, and promised to tell Steward Xiang. But in the end, the reply I waited for was that the eldest prince didn't want to see her.

These three days were the most lonely three days in the nearly 30 years since she married into the Bac Ninh Palace, losing the love of her husband, losing the filial piety of her son, and even the servants who supported her in front and behind. There are only two expressionless girls who appear in the room on time three times a day, and it is annoying to watch.

The empty room was so quiet that only the crackling of the candles burning, and the same small breaths as oneself. Lu's heart ached for a while, just like when he heard that the emperor had decreed that he would marry that breezy man. He is going to marry a wife, but unfortunately he is not marrying himself.

She loved the man, and fell in love with him from the first time she saw him before she was in time. Who can not love a man as powerful and handsome as he is? That's when she began to sink, fantasizing about one day becoming his wife, though she knew it was just wishful thinking.

There will always be a day when his extravagant hopes will be shattered, and he will marry another woman with red makeup. But she was still unwilling, she didn't want to marry anyone except him.

She waited for three years and heard that his mother was going to take a concubine for him. She felt that her opportunity had come, and tried every means to get close to his mother and please her.

Finally, she got her wish and married into the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion to become his side room, and the day she was carried into the palace, she felt that she was about to suffocate with happiness. But at night, her heart sank to the bottom again, because he didn't come to the cave with her.

sent the maid who accompanied the marriage out to investigate, only to find out that on her wedding night, he actually stayed at the concubine Jiang's place.

If she was only jealous of the Jiang family before, from that night on, the seeds of hatred took root and sprouted in her heart.
