Chapter 26: Confrontation
Seeing Cheng Xingqiu walking away, Ruan Yuyi owed a debt, and she had to say goodbye to find it.
Jiang Huaiyang grabbed her wrist, his eyes dark. Her wrists seemed to be frozen with frost and snow, and she was very slender, as if she could break it with a little force.
Thinking about it, Jiang Huaiyang let go a little more.
Ruan Yuyi looked back, her eyes filled with suspicion, "Is there anything else Your Highness has to do?" She could even feel the thin calluses on the other party's fingertips, gently rubbing against her wrist, a little stinging.
Ling Ling ......?
Hearing others call her like this, he felt his heart empty for a moment, as if he was getting closer to some kind of truth
The murmurs of several nights of dreams sounded in my ears at this time.
Sometimes it was he who put his arms around her behind his back, and the two of them were skin-to-skin, his lips pressed against the side of her ear, and he kept calling, calling her cheeks crimson; Or during the day, ask her to put down the ink strip in her hand and knead her sore fingertips after grinding the ink......
One after another, the calls converged, as if a little firefly disturbed his mind, and in this sound, it seemed as long as a lifetime.
- though he never remembered seeing her.
In my memory, the face of the woman in the dream suddenly became clear, with red lips and white teeth, a smile, a pair of watery eyes, and the bell between the feet and wrists was broken, and the sound was in the ears.
But the person in the dream was far more delicate than the person in front of her, not as restrained as now, as if something had penetrated her spine, and detained her there, crying, unable to escape.
He couldn't help but look at her, remembering a small mole on her butterfly bone.
"The man just now...... Call you Lingling?"
Ruan Yuyi didn't understand why he asked, and hesitated, "Yes." This is the little girl's small print. When my mother gave birth to me, I was playing with my father in the mountains, there was a clear spring in the valley, gurgling endlessly, and the sound of water was quiet between the flows, so I took the word 'Lingling', and the picture was just a smooth mouth. β
Jiang Huaiyang narrowed his eyes and withdrew his hand, which was indeed smooth, and the pronunciation was very similar to the ringing sound of her feet and wrists.
"Your Highness wants to know, you can ask the little girl earlier." Ruan Yuyi's smile burned, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
When he raised his eyes again, he had already collected all the turbulent thoughts, and his face was as usual, "But just ask casually." β
Ruan Yuyi didn't ask much, just thought that it was the rise of His Royal Highness the prince of the uncertain world.
He put one hand behind his back and gestured somewhere.
Wen Pheasant, who received the instructions, walked out of the corner, arched his hand, and said respectfully, "Master, I heard a man's laughter not far away, which is very similar to the second son of the Cheng family. β
Since he walked away, he has been hiding behind the corner, he has always been clever, where can he not understand the meaning of the master, do not go too far, just to be able to see the master's next command.
But this tacit understanding is not innate, he entered the palace when he was a child, and has been accompanying this unfavored little prince, he himself is only half a year older than him, and he was still young at the time, but he forged a ruthless method in the wind and rain.
He followed this master and climbed up on the bones, and now, he occupies a big eunuch, which palace person in the palace saw him, and did not lower his eyebrows and call Grandpa Wen.
Hearing Wen Pheasant's reply, Ruan Yuyi was overjoyed, "That must be the second cousin!" β
Shizi's subordinates are really very capable of doing things, and a few of them are looking for it like this, but they can't afford Wen Pheasant to walk away for a while.
Jiang Huaiyang glanced at Ruan Yuyi beside him, and when he saw her relieved look, he said, "Go and bring someone." β
"Yes." Wen Pheasant took the order and took a detour, but actually entered the concubine's courtyard through the side door.
After a while, he turned back again, empty behind him and no one followed.
Wen Pheasant stepped forward and said, "Master, the concubine said that she would keep him for a while, and it seems that she is very happy with him." The small ones are really ......."
Ruan Yuyi noticed the word "concubine" and thought about it in her heart, if the concubine ate fast with the prince, why did she live separately from the prince, but it was no wonder that she rarely saw her a few days ago.
"Your Highness," Ruan Yuyi took the initiative, "Second cousin usually listens to me, why don't you let me go and bring him back." I've seen the concubine herself, and she is still very talkative. β
He glanced at her, turned his head and said to Wen Pheasant in a deep voice, "You go and talk to the concubine, just say that he ran out blindly, his family doesn't know, and they are already in a hurry." β
Jiang Qi was stubborn, so he was detained here to fast with his grandmother, I am afraid that he will not let him walk around at will, and he may be inside at this time.
If you let her inβ
"Your Highness, is he really okay?" She didn't notice Jiang Huaiyang's actions that seemed to be blocking her, but she was a little worried about whether Wen Pheasant would be able to bring people back smoothly.
"Nature."
If it was a person who could make the minister angry half to death in three or two sentences in the past, this idea is still unclear, and it is really unreasonable.
This time, Wen Pheasant really brought the person back intact.
Cheng Rui grabbed a piece of pastry with both hands, and while walking, he took a bite with one hand, as if he was afraid that someone would compete with him.
When he saw Ruan Yuyi, he didn't realize that he was lost, which would make the people around him anxious, and he still had something in his mouth, so he shouted with a smile, "Sister Yi'er!" How are you here? β
Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi exhaled softly, but it's okay if the person is fine. She turned around and said, "Thank you for your help this time, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know when to go." β
Jiang Huaiyang's cold voice came from above her head, "Now that you have found it, what are you going to thank me for?" If she hadn't figured out part of his character, it would have sounded like a joke on her.
But his eyes were too straightforward, as if he could see her at a glance, the tips of her ears were slightly red, and she stumbled, "Your Highness...... If I allow a little more time to prepare, I will naturally not let His Highness help in vain. β
Jiang Huaiyang stared at her back as she faded away until she disappeared into the corner.
Knowing that Ruan Yuyi hadn't done anything in his dream, and maybe not even the character in his dream, why did he still unconsciously confuse and joke with her.
On the side of the hem of his clothes, his hanging hand gently pinched the soft flesh of his palm, a little stunned.
In all directions, Jiamu was thick and yin, and Ruan Yuyi was afraid that Cheng Rui would run around casually again, although it was inconvenient to contact him too much, so he tugged on his small corner sleeve.
Cheng Ruirao is big stride, and he also adapted to her speed, slowing down and walking, "Sister Yi'er, can I still go to that grandma next time?" Her refreshments there were really tasty and I left you a little ......"
As he spoke, he raised his other hand, which was not grabbed by the sleeve, but saw that the hand was empty, so he reacted, and lowered his head in disappointment, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to eat it." β
The grandmother he said was a concubine? is an idiot, so no one will care about these things with him. Ruan Yuyi laughed a little. He has become the most relaxed of all the people.
"Second cousin, you are not allowed to run around in the future, you know?" Ruan Yuyi said, "You don't know how your aunt is worried. β
She originally meant to talk casually, not pointing out how much Cheng Rui could listen to as an idiot, but she didn't want him to shake her head and said, "I didn't run around, I came out to find Sister Fairy." β
Ruan Yuyi felt funny, "The second cousin is talking nonsense. This is a temple, where did the fairy sister come from, if there is a Buddha, it should be. β
Cheng Rui's appearance was very serious, "It was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who said it." β
Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi was stunned and felt that something was wrong. Maybe they all ignored it, and when they saw that the courtyard door was unlocked, they thought that he ran out by himself, but in fact, it may not be accidental.
