Yang Ruoning, Chapter 36
That watch, of course, was not an ordinary electronic watch, it was a disguised bugging.
Yang Ruoning put on the headphones, and she could hear all the voices on Luo Yuan's side. She heard his carriage go through the streets of the early morning to the court; She heard the ministers of the court expressing their opinions and the cold voices of Aono who were completely different from usual; She heard Luo Yuan's voice discussing politics with the ministers after the next dynasty; She heard him walking through the noisy streets on his way home. Luo Yuan's life is repeated, and the regularity is even monotonous to the point of being boring.
In the past two months, in addition to going to Jiangxian Pavilion every day to help, she would occasionally sneak out of the city to see Jiang Yuefeng. Yuefeng has been staying in the temple to worship the Buddha. Aono told her that the imperial physician said that the mother's heartburn seemed to be aggravated, so she needed to recuperate in the temple for a while.
Qingye is not seen every time, and it is inconvenient for her to enter the palace frequently; There are a lot of eyeliner in the palace, and she is afraid of causing any more gossip. Yang Ruoning brought a pair of walkie-talkies, and she gave one to Qingye, so she and Qingye often talked for a while in the dead of night when everyone was asleep.
Jiang Qi also came over once in a while. In addition to visiting Yuefeng, it was to inquire about Luo Yuan's news from Yang Ruoning. Yang Ruoning told him that there was nothing worth noting. Jiang Qi stared at her, his gaze was sharp, and he seemed to be able to pierce her. After a few seconds, Jiang Qi looked away and said, "Miss Yang is telling the truth. ”
A month earlier, she and Luo Yuan had been married in a humble chapel on the outskirts of the city, in the presence of a foreign missionary.
Before the ceremony, she saw Ki in a small room in the auditorium
The wedding dress that Sey prepared for her.
It was a beautiful wedding dress that looked like some designer couture expensive dress. Ki
Sey said it was made to order when he and his wife got married. His wife had ordered several wedding dresses, and this was one of them.
It seemed to be the wedding dress of her dreams. The layers of white yarn are adorned with pearls, and the white yarn flutters lightly when walking, like a fairy in the world. Yang Ruoning stared at the wedding dress for a long time in a daze, and finally changed into the wedding dress.
In the small chapel that day, under the gaze of Jesus on the cross, pagan priests dressed in Christian robes; Luo Yuan, who was dressed in a jet-black robe; and Yang Ruoning, who was dressed in a white wedding dress, formed perhaps the weirdest scene in this time and space.
Under the guidance of the priest, Yang Ruoning and Luo Yuan exchanged rings. Then the pastor said, "In the presence of God, I, Yang Ruoning, am willing to marry you, Luo Yuan, as my husband." Now and forever, in good times and in bad times, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful, I will always love, cherish, and be faithful to you forever and ever. Yang Ruoning saw that when she replied that I was willing, Luo Yuan's eyes were shining.
And at this moment, the voice in the headphones told her that Luo Yuan's court meeting ended early today, and he had already come out of the palace.
Yang Ruoning finished the work at hand, said goodbye to Su Su and walked to the house. She first went around to the west of the city to buy some pastries before heading to the house.
When she entered the hospital, Luo Yuan had already changed into civilian clothes and was sitting in the study. The two chatted for a few words, and then Luo Yuan asked, "There is another banquet in the Dragon Boat Palace, is the lady going?" ”
Since Luo Yuan's wedding, she has changed her name to "lady" when there is no one in private. Yang Ruoning knew that it meant 'wife', but she resisted this title for some reason. She also doesn't like to call Luo Yuan "husband" or "xianggong", she calls him "dear".
But when someone was present, he still called her "Ruo Ning" and she called him "Luo Yuan".
When talking to Aono on the phone last night, Aono also mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. Qingye said that Jiang Qi seemed to plan to take this opportunity to determine the queen's candidate. Aono was disgusted by this, but at the same time knew that it seemed that he had no choice in this matter. Yang Ruoning sighed, and she said to Qing Ye, "Actually, you still have a choice, you can consider the choice I gave you." ”
Yang Ruoning put the dim sum on the desk, and then sat opposite Luo Yuan. Outside the window, the setting sun filtered through the panes, staining the paper on the table to pink. She said, "Okay. ”
Luo Yuan looked up at her as he wrote, "I thought you didn't like these entertainments. ”
"Of course not. But this is helpful for the business of Jiangxian Pavilion, and by the way, you can advertise. ”
"You don't seem to mention the emperor very much lately." Luo Yuan didn't look up, and said lightly.
This casual sentence made Yang Ruoning feel shocked. "yes, it's been a long time. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet him. ”
Before noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Ruoning entered the palace with Luo Yuan. In early summer, the palace looks completely different from the last time it snowed, and it is full of vibrant green. The palace maids dressed in pink and light veils were busy tying artemisia grass to ward off evil spirits in each hall. Yang Ruoning took an artemisia grass, crumpled it and smelled it, and found that it was lemongrass that could be used to repel insects. She thought that in addition to the elements of legends and superstitions, there are actually some scientific truths in the customs of this Dragon Boat Festival.
The two of them walked through the gate of the Daodao Palace with the big and small officials who entered the palace and their families, and finally came to the Imperial Garden. The emperor set up a banquet in the imperial garden today. At this moment, the Imperial Garden is already very lively.
Yang Ruoning saw that the little beauties who were carefully dressed up along the way looked sideways. They may cover half of their jade faces with fans, bow down shyly, and call General Luo delicately; or lean forward, bow deeply, and loom in front of your chest; There were even bold people who handed over love letters, but Luo Yuan smiled and politely refused.
The girl didn't give up, and after Luo Yuan turned around, she quietly stuffed it into the hands of Yang Ruoning, who was walking behind, and whispered to Yang Ruoning to hand it over to General Luo.
Yang Ruoning was stunned when she received the letterhead with a faint floral fragrance. She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the pleading glint in the girl's eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse the beautiful girl.
It's just that as soon as this head opens, other girls are competing to follow suit.
It turns out that everyone has written love letters in advance, Yang Ruoning sighed in her heart.
She felt that she couldn't accept these love letters in vain, so she stuffed the small leaflets of Jiangxian Pavilion that Su Su had written in advance into the hands of these girls one by one.
Before a few were sent, Luo Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, he took the flyer from her hand, and actually helped her distribute it. "The small shop is in Jimo Lane behind the main street of the West Market, and the girl can take care of the small shop when she has time." Yang Ruoning heard Luo Yuan say softly. With Luo Yuan's help, the flyer seemed to be distributed very smoothly, and it was gone after a while.
And at this moment, a little eunuch suddenly appeared. After explaining his intentions, he led Yang Ruoning and Luo Yuan towards the deeper part of the garden.
On the way there, Luo Yuan looked at Yang Ruoning holding a bunch of small notes in his hand and asked, "Why do you have so many small notes in your hand?" ”
Yang Ruoning laughed and stuffed the note into her sleeve. "The name and contact information of the beautiful young lady is only."
Luo Yuan frowned, "What do you want these for?" ”
"Hey, why can't I ask for contact information?" Yang Ruoning immediately retorted, "I also want to establish a good relationship with the beautiful sisters, okay?"
Luo Yuan was speechless, "Beautiful sisters? You can be their mother at your age! ”
"Ageism? I'm still a little girl at heart, okay! ”
The little eunuch in front turned around, "The two of you should hurry up and go in and say goodbye!" ”
So the two stopped arguing. The two entered a luxurious water pavilion by the lake, and after saluting the emperor, Luo Yuan sat at the small tea table on the right. According to her identity, Yang Ruoning naturally stood in the position of the maid behind him again.
After standing still, Yang Ruoning looked at Qingye. Aono winked at her, and everyone said hello.
At that time, the ministers lined up outside the water pavilion, and one by one they brought the daughters in the boudoir up to say goodbye. The queen mother has announced to the world that she will choose a harem for the emperor. And this moment is the moment to decide the fate of those girls and their families. Those who are favored by the emperor and the queen mother can take the high-speed train of fate and become the concubine of Emperor Da Song, and the luckiest one will fly to the highest branch and become the head of the harem.
And today, Luo Yuan, the hottest and promising diamond-level dragon fast son-in-law in the capital, was also present, and everyone immediately understood. The Queen Mother seems to want to have a double happiness. It is said that the Queen Mother is in poor health, probably because she wants to take advantage of this to rejoice. No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that even if he can't enter the harem, he will win the jackpot if he is promised to General Luo. As a result, families worked harder to introduce their daughters.
Aono sat expressionlessly on the dragon chair in the center, he looked at the people walking in front of him one by one, but he was absent-minded. Yang Ruoning felt that as an emperor, he was not good at hiding his feelings, which was a characteristic of their Yang family, but it was really not the quality that a Ming monarch should have. She had to admit that Luo Yuan was more suitable to be the emperor than Qing Ye in any way.
Yang Ruo stared at Qingye and sighed softly.
After a while, all the talents were introduced. When the ministers all retreated, only Luo Yuan, Jiang Qi, the emperor and Yang Ruoning were left.
Aono suddenly asked, "Does General Luo have anything to look up to?" ”
Luo Yuan put down the tea in his hand and replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, the minister has a marriage match." ”
"Oh? Is it General Lowe's cousin? ”
Yang Ruo stared at Luo Yuan's back, and suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't want Aono to know about her and Luo Yuan. She didn't want Aono to worry.
Luo Yuan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Qi suddenly said, "General Luo, if there is anyone who can be seen, it doesn't hurt to accept it." ”
Luo Yuan, "Xie Guoxiang is good." It's just that the minister promised his cousin that he would not take a concubine for the time being. ”
Aono felt a little bored, and he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to say any more. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and asked Luo Yuan, "Will you participate in the Keju competition in the afternoon?" ”
He was asking Luo Yuan, but Yang Ruoning, who was standing behind Luo Yuan, knew that he was actually asking himself. She didn't know what Kemari was, but it sounded interesting. She quietly gestured to Aono with an OK gesture.
