The morning light is faint, sprinkled all over the courtyard like water, showing a sense of tranquility. Although it was calm on the surface, I didn't know how many people tossed and turned on the bed last night, each with their own thoughts.

Ruan Yuyi finished washing up and putting on makeup, and sat in front of the dressing table, looking stunned, not knowing what she was thinking. The little lady in the bronze mirror is described as delicate, but the color of the copper mirror is dark, which also hides her slightly pale face.

There were a lot of hostas scattered in front of her, and she didn't have time to clean them up. She stretched out her hand a little and took the pair of gold-threaded Dongzhu earrings. The pendant lay obediently in the palm of her hand, with no signs of damage at all.

She stared at it for a long time, and then put it in a small wooden box, as if to seal it away forever, and placed it at the bottom of the dress.

Mu Xiang chose several sets of dresses in a row and presented them to her. Ruan Yuyi was not interested, only glanced at it, and tapped the plain moon white with her fingertips, "This one." ”

Mu Xiang pondered for a while, and felt that Yuebai was too plain, so he persuaded, "Miss, it is more appropriate for the slave to look at this silver zhu." ”

The moon is not white, but presents a light blue, Like a bright moon in the sky, Streamers in the water, It's good to wear it ordinarily, but no matter how it is, it's also a cold tone, I'm afraid I don't like it when I see it today, and I don't think Miss pays attention to it.

Xu was reluctant to enter the palace in her heart, but she wanted to secretly show some of her unwillingness, so she still insisted on this. Mu Xiang couldn't resist her, so she had to put more thought into her hairpin.

When Ruan Yuyi was ready, she called a few other girls in the courtyard.

The maids knelt on the ground, all with their heads down, each planning for the days to come. It's just that some of them have been relegated to slavery, and they can't be easily eliminated, and they are even more worried.

Ruan Yuyi glanced at it and said softly, "I know that some of you are willing to go to the palace with me, but it is inconvenient for too many people to accompany me, and I am afraid of being blamed." Now if you want to leave the house, you will take the silver and the deed of sale, if you want to stay, I will arrange for you to go to Sister Ying'er. ”

Those servants looked at each other, in fact, even if they left the Cheng Mansion, most of them had nowhere to go, not to mention that the monthly money given by the Cheng family was quite rich, but the next family might not be able to give this share.

"Miss, the slave is willing to go to Miss Ying's courtyard." When one speaks, the other speaks.

She smiled lightly, "Okay." I'll talk to you and Madame for you. In fact, after she left, most of the people in the courtyard were dismissed, unless they were able to do things, so they were arranged elsewhere.

She was already guilty of leaving them here, so she thought about giving them multiple choices.

She turned to look at Qingdai, who was silent for a long time.

Several maids know that Qing Dai is a talkative person on weekdays, but since she learned yesterday that the young lady was going to be summoned to the palace, her expression has not been right.

She is a high-spirited person, although she is a maid, she has the heart to be a young lady. She thought that Miss Biao was going to enter the palace to enjoy glory and wealth, and she sighed at the injustice of her fate, and her eyes were red with hatred.

Hearing that the other two chose to stay, she secretly sneered, so bold, she deserved to be a slave. She straightened her back and said, "Miss is merciful, Qingdai is willing to go out of the house." ”

This answer was also expected by Ruan Yuyi.

She hasn't been in Chengfu for a long time, and it's normal to have no feelings with the place, but if she looks for a home so frequently, others will think that she is an uncertain person, where can she dare to trust, one day she will be trapped in the tooth line and can't get out again.

Ruan Yuyi just sighed lightly, and according to what she said before, she gave the deed of sale and the money. She thought that if there were still people who wanted to leave, she would give them more money and have a better life in the future.

It's just that Qingdai is in front of her, Ruan Yuyi knows that she doesn't like herself, so she doesn't have a good impression of her, so she only settles the monthly money.

When you go through the hall, you will see a sedan chair moored.

There is no fancy decoration on the sedan chair, but it is not like a thing in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that there were two guards on one side, they would almost have thought that they were rented casually.

Mu Xiang glanced at Ruan Yuyi worriedly, but when she came to pick it up for the first time, the emperor showed a perfunctory appearance, and she didn't know how to be sad in the future. In fact, she still hadn't figured out why she had made such a sudden decision.

Ruan Yuyi's face was indifferent, and she greeted the eunuchs from the palace without saying anything.

Except for Zhaorong, who felt that he had been disgraced yesterday, was unhappy, and was reluctant to come out, there were a lot of people from the Cheng family.

Cheng Zhu seemed to be solemn, put a heavy fat powder on his face, and was squeezed together with laughter, but showed a lot of wrinkles, "I didn't expect our sister Yi to have such a time, my aunt didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Her words were all affectionate that Ruan Yuyi had never seen before. If she had seen her aunt like this before, she would not have doubted this eagerness, but would have been flattered. And at the moment, there is nothing she doesn't understand.

She quietly withdrew her hand from Cheng Zhu's hand.

This aunt of hers recognizes power and money, but she does not recognize people. Ruan Yuyi just smiled a little and chatted perfunctorily.

"In the future, if you go out of the palace to save your relatives, don't forget the Cheng family, your aunt will keep your place." As he spoke, Cheng Zhu quietly glanced at the eunuch standing not far away, as if the words of his closest relatives were meant for him.

Cheng Zhushi pulled her and instructed her a few words before she stopped talking.

The eunuch stepped forward, and his tone was quite respectful, "Talented, please move to the sedan chair." ”

She turned her head sideways and looked at the sedan chair.

When the palanquin in the palace appeared in front of her eyes, she seemed to realize the truth of that will. But did she really want to wade into that quagmire and compete with several women for a favor?

A-Niang taught her how to seduce people, but never taught her how to fight back in the face of the malice of others. All she could do was protect herself.

As soon as the eunuch's words came out, everyone in the Cheng Mansion turned their voices out, and they all turned their eyes to her. For a while, these people seemed to be very silent, and they were so overwhelming that they couldn't breathe.

Her heart was flustered, as if she had stepped into the air. But the power of the Heavenly Family blocked her voice, so that she could not scream. She couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing her hesitate, the eunuch's face froze slightly, and then disappeared immediately, repeating his previous words.

Her lips opened and closed, and before she could speak, she heard Cheng Xingqiu's voice coming from behind, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, can you ask me to say a few words to my cousin?" ”

The eunuch was just sent to pick up people, and he didn't know what the relationship between the eldest son of the Cheng family and Ruan Yuyi was, so he didn't think much about it, and responded with his head. Besides, His Majesty has not chosen any auspicious time, let alone say a few words, even if it is delayed for a quarter of an hour.

Cheng Xingqiu motioned for her to take a step to speak.

She hesitated, and followed him to the other side of the large interstitial. He walked a little farther away, as if to make sure that the voices of the two would not be heard by the eunuchs on the other side, and then stopped.
