Chapter 223: The Princess
On the brocade arhat bed, their sleeves were intertwined, and Ruan Yuyi looked into his eyes, as if she was looking for something from there.
"Why do you ask that?"
She didn't answer.
Jiang Huaiyang sighed and pulled her sideburns for her, "When did I say I didn't care, don't think about it." β
His eyes were as deep as a pool, no different from the usual, she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't know how much of it was true or how false. All she knew was that he was still willing to indulge her.
She lowered her eyes. Suddenly, I felt that I was asking ridiculously.
He saw her thoughts and wanted to appease him, but when he saw that he was fine, he smiled slightly. Xu was still not fully healed from the injury in his dream, and his heart throbbed violently.
It's better not to laugh, so that he can't tell when he's sincere and when he's not.
.
After Jiang Huaiyang left, Concubine Rong came with a kick.
She took Ruan Yuyi's hand and sat with her on either side of the low table on the couch. Some palace people presented tea and fruit snacks and waited, Concubine Rong ignored the tea, covered her mouth and smiled, "The concubine is pinching more and more accurately at this hour." β
She was idle and bored, so she always wanted to find Ruan Yuyi as a companion, and knew that the new emperor often stayed here, so she observed for two days, and stepped on the point where the other party left.
In this way, you don't have to meet the new emperor and spend more tongues and courtesies, but you can also come earlier. As for the rumors in the palace accusing her of forming a gang, she has always disdained to ignore them.
"If I go to my sister's place next time, lest my sister always count the hours," she said, "one day to you, one day to me, there is always a change of scenery in my eyes, it is fresh." β
Before he could say a word, another palace man sent a reward. In the past few days, the new emperor has really sent things to her, in fact, it is nothing more than some cloth, silk, gold and silver.
Ruan Yuyi bowed slightly to the palace people and said, "Let it go first." β
The palace man lowered his hand and was about to retreat, but he heard Concubine Rong say, "Sister don't open it and take a look?" β
"But it's still those objects, which are accompanied by each other day by day, and they should always get tired of looking at them." If she wants to be these yellow and white things? Thinking of this, her eyes trembled slightly, and the "care" in his mouth came into her ears again.
She wanted to believe it, but she didn't dare to believe it. Like a small animal leaving the forest for the first time, stretching out its paws, again and again, to touch the stone in front of her, even if she knew in her heart that the stone would not hurt her, but she still couldn't stop tempting.
Concubine Rong was a little curious, so she asked the palace people to open the box.
Looking closely, it is indeed as Ruan Yuyi said, there are mostly some rulers of gold and jade. It's just that the rare Huashun softness of the ruler is bright, and there are some bright colors, not many of each, but there are a lot of colors.
And on top of those cloths, there was a delicately made long-life lock.
She was stunned, quickly collected her emotions, and turned around and quipped, "It's mostly children's things, no wonder my sister wants to hide it, I think I'm shy." It's also that there is no shadow now, and if it will be visible in the futureβ"
She probably can't have her own children, but she can still recognize Ruan Yuyi. Thinking like this, the loneliness of that idea dissipated.
"Sister!"
When she said this, she was not ashamed, and it made her face red.
Concubine Rong smiled, and took her hand again, she had to make herself a godmother in the future. Seeing that Concubine Rong was talking lively, the palace maids around her also echoed.
But what is the matter of no shadow, Ruan Yuyi prevaricated casually and did not want to mention it again.
The palace person who sent the things was still waiting, and she reacted and asked Mu Xiang to reward the things. The palace man happily took it, took it, and hid it in his sleeve.
He was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but say a few more words, "That is, Your Majesty, can leave these few things from the Queen Mother." If you want the slave to see, if there is still a majesty here, the queen mother really can't wait to empty the palace for the eldest princess. β
The mouthful of boxes, constantly piled up, dark or light wood color, just looking at it is amazing.
Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is the eldest princess?" "How can you suddenly make such a big move.
When the palace people heard this, they became more and more interested and said, "Niangniang doesn't know? His Majesty made an order yesterday to send the eldest princess to Khitan and kiss. β
The Queen Mother has only one daughter left, where is she willing to ask her to marry far away, but now she thinks of Cheng Xingqiu's good come, and makes a fuss about this matter. But at that time, there was no new emperor as evidence, and this family affair was not counted, and the queen mother had no choice.
She can only add face to the dowry and do her best.
I heard that the eldest princess of Zhaorong was about to overturn the princess's mansion, and now no one dares to get close.
Ruan Yuyi listened to the palace people talking with oil and vinegar, and at the same time, she shook the tea cup in her hand for a while. She remembered that when the envoy came to visit before, he did propose to marry the daughter of Dawu.
It's just that if it was placed in the past, most of them chose a palace maid and sent it with a temporary title, or they chose one of the official women, but they didn't want the princess to marry far away.
Not to mention that the Khitan doesn't have such a big face-
Her hand froze, and she suddenly remembered that Zhaorong was having a body, and now that she counted, the month was not small.
Concubine Rong obviously thought of this, and glanced at her, and they all saw the surprise in the other party's eyes.
Your Majesty is going to send the princess to kiss, it is clearly a provocation. But the Khitan side still asked for help in the Wu country, and he couldn't do it, so he had to bite his silver teeth and swallow blood. It's just inevitable that the eldest princess will be caught in the middle and make this sacrifice.
Ruan Yuyi was obviously a little trance-conscious, waved her hand to stop the palace people's words, and sent people down.
As soon as the palace people left, only she and Concubine Rong were left in the main hall, as well as one of their confidants, and there was no one else.
Concubine Rong sighed quietly, "It's really ruthless, no matter how you say it, the eldest princess still has half a blood relationship with him after all." β
She didn't know what to take, and she vaguely felt in her heart that with his temperament, he wouldn't do this just for the sake of provocation.
Concubine Rong also knew that this matter was not easy to discuss, so she sighed, and then opened the conversation and talked about the side.
Ruan Yuyi stroked the rim of the cup with some absent-mindedness.
"My sister is tired?"
Only then did she come back to her senses, and she curled the corners of her lips hard, "Yes, somewhat." β
Concubine Rong saw that she was not in good spirits, so she no longer dragged her, repeated a few words, and left. Ruan Yuyi took her arm and sent her to the gate of the palace.
When she returned to the palace, she always felt a little heavy, not that she was pitiful Zhaorong, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw that she was so sticky with Cheng Xingqiu at that time, and because of the new emperor's words, she completely changed her fate.
What about the noble daughter of Jiangnan, what about the eldest princess of her relatives, in the end, fate made people, why did Zhaorong make her hypothetical enemy at that time, and she had to fight for every second.
This heaviness lasted until the next day.
Her palace broke into the former owner of the place.
The man's sideburns were slanted, swallowing heavily, his eyes were scarlet, and there were also Lai Cen Li and a few guards behind him, guarding against her and looking like they were going to take her out at any time.
Ruan Yuyi's face was calm, and she pulled her jacket together, "It's okay, let's go down." β
Several guards looked at each other and hesitated for a while, until Cen Li led the way out, and they did not make a move.
