Chapter Ninety-Six: Threats
Since that day, Ruan Yuyi's courtyard has been locked, except for twice a day, when someone sends her food, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out, as if to completely isolate her from the outside world.
According to Cheng Zhu's meaning, her grounding will not be lifted until the eldest prince and Zhaorong are married.
When Cheng Xingqiu heard this, he didn't believe it, in his impression, Ling Ling was a woman who would be ashamed to turn red when he touched his fingertips, and he really couldn't imagine what she would look like on the couch.
He tried to verify it several times, but they all got the same answer. He swept down a lot of carvings in the house alone, and fell to the ground, until the little guy outside came to inquire, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said that it was all right.
In this way, he accepted the matter. It's just that he felt that Ruan Yuyi was ashamed, and he was not qualified to blame her for anything, and went to Cheng Zhu's to intercede for her.
Cheng Zhu refused, his face full of anger. It's just a weekday, but now, I still have to favor Sister Yi.
After being defeated once, Cheng Xingqiu knew that Ruan Yuyi was in the house, and nothing would happen to him for the time being, so he gave up. But secretly sent someone to tell her that he had interceded for her, and pretended to be inadvertently spread to her courtyard.
However, Jiang Huaiyang went to the concubine since Ruan Yuyi said that he had something to do, thinking that he had already come, and went to visit the concubine by the way.
When Jiang Qi saw him coming, he hurriedly threw away the book in his hand, and hid the endorsement under the pretext of eating and chatting with Uncle Xiaohuang. How could the concubine see that he didn't have a little abacus, but the new emperor was here, so he turned a blind eye.
He begged Wen Pheasant for a glass of wine, drank it carefully, and his entrance was full of the richness of osmanthus flowers. Xu was confused by this incense, so he blurted out, "This is the wine that Yuyi brought?" ”
After that, I realized that it was wrong. He chuckled in his heart, quietly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Huaiyang, silently hoping that he would be distracted, but he never heard this.
Jiang Huaiyang held the cup in his hand and paused, "What did you just say?" ”
"Uncle Xiaohuang is afraid that he heard it wrong. I didn't say anything. Jiang Qi staggered his searching gaze and sipped the wine in his glass to cover up.
He clearly didn't speak, but Jiang Qi also felt the light in his deep eyes, and the surroundings seemed to be a little colder. Jiang Qi couldn't help but shudder, maybe it was just a sip of wine, didn't Uncle Xiao Huang blame him?
Besides, it was the little emperor who hid the person first, how did he know that the little lady was his person.
Jiang Huaiyang threatened in a cold voice, "If you don't want to continue to eat and drink, go back and read now, and you will be very pleased to come to the concubine."
Jiang Qi is used to having fun, and it is really not easy to ask him to calm down and study for a while.
"You know what annoys me the most," he smiled bitterly, and had to let go of how to get acquainted with Ruan Yuyi, "But I really only know the little imperial sister-in-law, don't think about it." ”
He was busy excusing himself. However, he had a secret mind about the idea that the little lady had before, but he brought it over with the words on the side, and did not mention it at all.
Despite this, Jiang Huaiyang's face became more and more gloomy, he clenched the wine glass in his hand, his fingertips turned white, as if he was about to crush the porcelain cup in the next moment.
She didn't believe him.
I want him to help, but I also have the intention of leaving another way back, I really don't know whether to praise her for being thoughtful or something.
His mind suddenly flashed in the restaurant, a screen away from the figure, she has a natural charm, not to say that she has been specially practiced, the movements are soft and warm, even the usual action place, but also people can't take their eyes off.
At that time, he scoffed, but now that he thinks about it, he also subconsciously feels that she will not know Jiang Qi, so he missed it and couldn't recognize it. And His Royal Highness, she didn't come forward, if she didn't know who was outside, how could she call like this.
and today's broken cups and half-open wine jars, I think they can't be separated from Jiang Qi.
That's why she was so scared that she couldn't stop crying.
He lifted his eyelids and took Jiang Qi's panicked look into his eyes. This imperial nephew who is the same age as him, he knows very well that if Jiang Qi really has the intention of competing with him, whether it is the imperial power or something else, it is impossible for him to keep Jiang Qi until now.
Jiang Huaiyang got up and knocked the cup in his hand on a few cases, but because of the confiscation, the cup was shattered.
"Uncle Xiaohuang, where are you going?" Jiang Qi got up and called.
But Jiang Huaiyang had already walked a few steps away, and he didn't intend to answer his question. Wen Pheasant fell a little, turned around and arched his hand to him, and explained, "Your Highness, the master is going to drive back to the palace." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't go to Yuyi for trouble, this matter can be regarded as a leak in his mouth, if Yuyi was wronged by Uncle Xiaohuang because of this matter, it was his fault.
Two days later, Jiang Huaiyang still went to Shenghe Temple in the afternoon, and sometimes he was busy with government affairs, so he brought the recital here for review. It's just that until the sun sets, the little lady is still missing.
He knew in his heart that she was hiding from herself.
The golden glow sprinkled all over the courtyard, and the pond shimmered with sparkling waves, but the twilight set very quickly, and after a while, the waves gradually dimmed.
Wen Pheasant saw that it was not too early, so he stepped forward and asked, "Does the master want to drive back to the palace?" ”
He understood that the master was actually waiting for Miss Ruan, but at this time, he was afraid that he would not come. If you stay any longer, it's just a vain wait.
But speaking of which, this Ruan girl is really a ruthless master. With her complexion, the prince of the world is good at clinging, but she doesn't necessarily know the identity of the master, so she runs away without saying a word.
I don't know how many ministers in the court want to stuff their daughters into the harem, but they can't wait for a nod from their masters. Because he was busy with government affairs on weekdays, he didn't see him go to the palace of the concubine.
But I have time to meet this Ruan girl.
Rumors have long been rampant in the previous dynasty. If he hadn't seen the master and Miss Ruan, he would have almost wondered if the master had some hidden ailment as they said.
The pen in Jiang Huaiyang's hand froze, and the vermilion ink leaked out, he glanced at the sky, and said after a long time, "Go back." ”
in the Royal Palace.
The night was falling, and the huge palace room was enveloped. The few inhabited palaces have gradually been locked and turned off, and only the Palace of Nourishing Heart is still brightly lit.
Wen Pheasant pushed open the half-hidden door, but did not enter, only stood at the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed." ”
The candlelight reflected Jiang Huaiyang's eyes, showing a slightly light amber color, he was playing with a golden peach hairpin in his hand, his face was dark and unknown, and he was secretly thinking about something.
He should have known that she was not some submissive and obedient person. Although I was about to leave on the night when I first saw him, didn't I also leave this golden hairpin in the wing room with a charming mind?
It's just that she didn't want to take it back, so she kept it in his palace.
Now, it's time to send her back. He smiled suddenly, but his eyes were full of coldness, and motioned for Wen Pheasant to step forward, "Early tomorrow morning, someone will send things to the Cheng family's Miss Cousin." He handed the hairpin to Wen Pheasant.
Wen Pheasant lowered his head and took it, spread his palm, so that the delicate golden hairpin lay in the palm of his hand, thinking that he would immediately find the box and put it in later, so as not to bump it.
After thinking for a while, he added, "When you send it, don't let the people of Cheng Mansion find out. ”
"Yes."
