Almost from the beginning of the emperor's northern tour, all the way to the northern frontier, was raided by the Turks and retreated to Yanmen City, and then was rescued and returned to the Eastern Capital, and got the news of Guan Yundu's death, Shang Ruyi has not slept well in the past few months.

And this night was the first time in her past few months that she slept so peacefully.

But when she woke up again, she felt that it was dark in front of her eyes, and her breathing was blocked, so frightened that she bounced up from the bed with a spirit, only to find that when she fell asleep, she was obviously covered with a well-covered quilt, but at some point, she was pulled to the top of her head and covered herself completely.

No wonder I always felt stuffy and hot last night, even though I slept deeply.

There was a sweat in the nest, Shang Ruyi pushed the quilt away angrily, reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then turned his head, only to find that the room was bright, and it was probably past the hour.

She hurriedly wanted to call someone, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she hurriedly stopped, and when she turned her head again, she found that the couch belonging to Yu Wenye was empty, could it be that he left early in the morning?

Shang Ruyi called someone at this time, and soon, Tusheer and Wo Xue came in with a hot water basin and a towel.

Shang Ruyi asked, "What about him?"

Tusheer said: "Miss, my uncle got up early in the morning, saying that the emperor was in the morning today, and he was going to the palace to thank him."

「…… Oh."

Shang Ruyi suddenly realized.

From the time everyone followed the holy car back to the Eastern Capital to the present, the emperor has been dropping out of the court, thinking that it will take a little time to deal with the backlog of affairs before, and secondly, there are so many casualties on the northern tour, and each family will have to do a funeral when they come back, like the Guogong Mansion, and a full seven days of funerals were held.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it is time to go to court.

Wo Xue said: "Young lady, before leaving, the young lady also specially instructed that the young lady is tired these days, so let's not wake up the young lady, so that you can sleep as long as you can. Young lady, my son really feels sorry for you."

「……」

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but blush a little.

She only sighed "too much", and then went to freshen up by herself, and waited until she finished dressing up before going out, and it was really a big sun outside, although the winter sun was not powerful, but the bright light still made people feel refreshed.

As soon as Shang Ruyi went out, he ran into Aunt Hui.

She saluted her and said respectfully, "Young lady."

Shang Ruyi knew that he was victorious this time, but it was far from the time when he could fight with her, not to mention, it was not at the stage of confrontation now, so he still said politely: "Aunt Hui, got up so early to get busy?"

Aunt Hui smiled pointedly, "It's not early."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help blushing - even if everyone knew that she was very tired these days, she didn't wake up until this time, and she really didn't have the consciousness to be the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, so she could only mix it up.

Aunt Hui smiled, "Today, I'm busier than usual."

Shang Ruyi said, "Is there something wrong?"

Aunt Hui said lukewarmly: "There are two people in the tea room, one of them is still in charge, and the cups and utensils used in the past few days have to be recycled, and there is no skilled hand to do this, but it takes several times more effort than usual."

Shang Ruyi was stunned.

Aunt Hui smiled and said to her again, "The young lady is tired these days, let's go rest and rest, the old body will be busy first." ….

With that, he turned and left.

Shang Ruyi stood in place and looked at her back for a long time, and then left thoughtfully, but did not immediately go back to the house to rest, but went to the east courtyard, where he saw Jinyun, who was still packing up some relics for Guan Yundu, and Chang Yun, who looked haggard.

Although Shang Ruyi had confessed not to abuse her when the firewood room was closed before, she was locked up in the firewood room in the cold winter, and obviously suffered a lot, but Chang Wan didn't say a word, and only thanked Shang Ruyi again and again for washing away her grievances, and said while crying: "The grace of the young lady, Chang Wan is unforgettable."

Shang Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "Since you are innocent, then the matter of washing away grievances is what the people in this house should do, and it is not a grace, you don't have to be like this."

say

finished, and looked at Jinyun again: "Next-Guogong has any arrangements for you?"

Jin Yun and Chang Wan both shook their heads.

Seeing them like this, Shang Ruyi's expression became a little solemn.

They talked for a while, Shang Ruyi returned to the room, because of the heavy relationship, he didn't even eat lunch, he kept sitting in the room in a daze, and the emperor's court meeting on this day was several times longer than usual, probably because there was too much official backlog during the previous northern tour, and when Guogong and Yu Wenye returned to the mansion, it was already past the time of Shen.

As soon as Yu Wenye pushed the door, he saw Shang Ruyi sitting on the low table in the center of the room, most of his body was lying on it, looking too lazy to move, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his eyes were scattered, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

He walked slowly over until he sat down across from her, but she remained motionless, as if she could not hear or see anything.

Yu Wenye said softly, "What are you thinking?"

Shang Ruyi was still thinking about his own affairs, and muttered: "I'm thinking, sometimes, you have to do things at a pace, and it's actually easy to deal with bad people, but after dealing with things, no one will do it, I'm afraid it's worse than not dealing with it......

Yu Wenye frowned: "Huh?"

At this time, Shang Ruyi finally came back to his senses and hurriedly straightened up: "Alas? You, why did you come back?"

"What, I can't come back?"

"No, it's not."

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly, he didn't come back to his senses just now, but he offended him with a casual remark, and said with a busy smile: "I thought you would have to stay in the palace for a while."

Yu Wenye said lightly: "After the matter is dealt with, why don't you come back?"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with going to the court to thank you today?" Did the emperor say anything?"

「……」

Yu Wenye didn't answer her immediately, but his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked up at her: "What do you care about what the emperor says so much?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned.

Even if she is not his "lady", but as a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, their father and son went to the court after so long, and it took so much time to come back, what is the emperor's arrangement, shouldn't she care about it?

And-obviously yesterday, the relationship between the two of them has eased a lot, why did he ask about their last court, he was like a hedgehog who had been poked, and he put up the thorns all over his body again. ….

Shang Ruyi was at a loss, but he was also sullen and unhappy in his heart.

So he said lightly, "Then, I won't ask."

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull.

But she didn't ask, Yu Wenye's expression softened, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said, "Why don't you eat lunch?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned again, and looked up at him, he had just come back, how could he know that he hadn't eaten lunch?

She thought for a moment and said softly, "I don't have much appetite."

"You have to eat if you don't have an appetite, it's cold, how can people bear it if they don't eat?"

After speaking, without waiting for her to say anything, he turned his head and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to spread the word and let them bring some food to their room. The fire in the kitchen has not been broken, and some hot soup and hot dishes were soon delivered.

It's strange to say, obviously I haven't had an appetite before, but at this time, when I saw that this was not a sumptuous meal, I had a little real hunger, Shang Ruyi obediently picked up the dishes and chopsticks, ate two bites, and opened up her appetite a little, so she took the hot soup and soaked the rice and ate most of the bowl, along with a plate of sour and spicy cold dishes.

Seeing her eating sweetly, Yu Wenye snorted coldly: "Who said you didn't have an appetite just now?"

Shang Ruyi himself also blushed a little, and said, "I don't know why, people eat less, but it is more fragrant than eating in the dining room."

「……」

Yu Wenye glanced at her, and his eyes seemed to be a little brighter.

But his face still didn't change, and he continued to eat his own

said lightly: "I won't always accompany you to eat in the house, but there are no such big rules at home, as long as your father is not there, you can ask the kitchen staff to bring the food here, and no one will say anything about you."

Seeing that he hadn't finished eating, Shang Ruyi filled another half bowl of soup, and while drinking it carefully, he said, "Hmm."

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little better, Shang Ruyi thought about it and decided to ask a different question, so he said softly: "Speaking of which, if you are canonized as an auxiliary general, you will definitely be busier than before, and you will definitely have less time to go home for dinner in the future."

「……」

Yu Wenye let out a deep breath and said, "It's not the future."

"Huh?"

"Early this morning, Your Majesty has issued an order for me to lead 20,000 troops to collect Fuluocang - set off in three days."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

In fact, she was not surprised that the emperor would send Yu Wenye to Xingluocang, after all, she had already counted it in her heart when she was canonized before, and when Yu Wenye was fiddling with those stones in the squatter room of Banyan Temple, the two of them also made it very clear that this matter was going to fall on him.

Shang Ruyi was surprised that the emperor only asked him to order 20,000 troops?!

You must know that Wang Gangjun led tens of thousands of people before, and after they occupied Xingluocang, they opened the granary to help the victims from all walks of life, and tens of thousands of people went to the annexes around, and now the scale of Wang Gangjun is more than 100,000 at least.

The terrain of Xingluocang is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, before the imperial court will lose Xingluocang, firstly, the guards are lax, and secondly, in order to conquer Liaodong, most of the sergeants have been transferred; Now that the people of Wang Gangjun have occupied it, they will naturally not take it lightly, and to recapture Xingluocang in the hands of such a team, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the difficulty can be imagined!

Just when Shang Ruyi's brows were furrowed, Yu Wenye told her one more thing-

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

Yu Wenye looked at her, his eyes flickered, and said, "You guessed right before."

"Huh?"

"Conquering Xingluocang, and now taking Wang Gangjun to wait there, preparing for a big battle with the imperial court, it is Xiao Yuandi!"
