Chapter 279: It's not good to catch up with those who can't catch up
As soon as he heard this, Gonggong Lu's face also changed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Shang Ruyi and continued to walk inside, and said softly, "Ouch, why did Uncle Guo suddenly enter the palace. It'sβmadam, let's wait a minute."
Shang Ruyi nodded, but there was a sigh in his heart.
Uncle Guo?
That is, the brother of Empress Jiang?
I heard that this Empress Jiang was young and had no brothers and sisters, this "uncle of the country" is-
Just thinking about it in my heart, the voice of the "Uncle Guo" came from inside, and he said with a little displeasure in his tone: "Just because of your illness, you have to delay the day of going on the road, and you can't go to Jiangdu with Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness King Zhao are also left behind by you, and I have to guard you even too much." Who doesn't know, it's your cronies who follow Your Majesty, you're like this...... Isn't it a nuisance to my brother?"
Shang Ruyi's brows furrowed a little tighter.
Empress Jiang couldn't set off with the emperor all the way because she was sick? Even Princess Crescent Moon and King Zhao Chu Chengfei stayed with her?
There was a light cough inside, and it could be heard that Empress Jiang's voice was very weak, and she coughed for a while before she slowly said, "Chongen, this palace doesn't want to delay your future. However, this time, there were many officials who followed south, and it was difficult to have any chance of getting ahead. If you stay in the Eastern Capital, maybe there will be another world?"
That Jiang Chongen immediately sneered, "There is no other world? Who didn't know that Liang Shide was about to call, and besides, there were Lei family fathers and daughters to help him! That Lei Yi was the general of the Left Imperial Guard, how much he knew about the city defense deployment of the Eastern Capital! If I fold it here, you'll be happy, won't you?"
γβ¦β¦γ
Empress Jiang didn't speak again, she just kept coughing, but the coughing voice was much more suppressed than before.
γβ¦β¦γ
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly confessed and stepped forward and sat down obliquely.
Speaking of this, she paused to herself, thought about it, and smiled again, "It's nothing."
Empress Jiang smiled again: "Actually, I should have asked Xinyue to come over to meet you, but she went to the temple today to pray for the palace, and she didn't have time to meet her."
Empress Jiang smiled, "I hope so."
γβ¦β¦γ
These four words seemed to arouse something on Empress Jiang's mind, and the smile on her face added a little bitterness, but she didn't seem to be willing to indulge in this bitter emotion, and looked up at Shang Ruyi again, and said softly: "I heard that Guogong also took away the third child of your family, and now, you are the only one left in your house."
γβ¦β¦γ
"However, he said that he would go to Xingluocang first to get the grain and grass for this expedition, and I am afraid that he would have to delay there for a day or two."
Empress Jiang looked at her quietly for a while, and then said gently, "Seeing that your little husband and wife are in harmony, this palace is relieved."
Shang Ruyi came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Empress Jiang raised her hand slightly and said, "At this time, don't want these false courtesies. Come, come and sit down."
Empress Jiang smiled, suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice, Shang Ruyi hurriedly reached out to help her, feeling that her whole person was a little emaciated, so she dared to caress her back with protruding bones, and said softly, "Niangniang, you have to take good care of your phoenix body."
β¦.
When he saw Shang Ruyi, he didn't say anything, rolled his eyes and left.
She is so similar to her own background......
Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it - what she said was herself and Yu Wenye.
Thinking of that night, Shang Ruyi's face suddenly became a little hot.
Empress Jiang sighed and said, "Chong'en him, he is the cousin of this palace - this palace has been sluggish since he was a child, he grew up in his uncle's family, and Chong'en can be regarded as what I grew up watching. This kid is inevitably a little arrogant, and the palace always advises him not to be ambitious, but he just doesn't listen."
And now, she also began to call him Fengchen, because that night, he clearly told her - at this time, you can call him Fengchen.
Shang Ruyi perked up his spirits and hurriedly walked in.
Empress Jiang's weak breath revealed a kind of firmness that seemed to be in her bones
Yi said, "Bengong, I don't want to be sick for too long."
Empress Jiang said, "This is right. Then, you can go tomorrow, go early and come back early."
Shang Ruyi settled down and said softly: "Loyalty is against the ear, Niangniang's hard work is not something that everyone can save."
Shang Ruyi's brows twisted into a pimple, and he almost couldn't help but go in and scold!
No matter what Jiang Chongen thinks, but the queen is the queen after all, he doesn't have a little respect in his tone, and he doesn't even have the slightest pity and consideration for his sick sister, it's just ruthless!
Still, she controlled herself.
She reached out and patted the edge of the bed.
Shang Ruyi walked in step by step, and finally saw the emaciated and pale figure on the bed.
"Feng Chen, this kid has been since he was a childβ"
I don't know why, it sounded relieved, and even relaxed, but Shang Ruyi listened, but a feather seemed to fall in his heart, obviously it had no weight, but it seemed to faintly press her.
Shang Ruyi hesitated, although the two of them were close, but after all, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, she was still a little apprehensive, but Empress Jiang smiled and said, "I called you here in this palace, but I don't see you. If you see this palace, you will fail this palace."
She looked at Shang Ruyi with a smile, and after a while, she said softly, "It seems that the relationship between the two of you is better than before."
After all, this is Empress Jiang's family matter, and it is no longer appropriate for them to listen here, if they intervene again, it really shouldn't be.
It turned out that the queen also died of both parents when she was a child and was raised by the elders of her relatives.
That Jiang Chongen snorted, turned around and walked out.
And the ripples are also gentle and smiling.
Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered and glanced at her.
Of course, maybe it's not the feeling.
"But what?"
Empress Jiang smiled, "He even told you this?"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Then the two of them gossiped for a while, but did not say anything more important.
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "Everything is fine. It's just that the Zhuangzi outside the city was left by his father to Ruyi, if he really wants to tour Jiangdu with His Majesty this time, it will be difficult to come back for a while, Ruyi wants to go over and take a look, and settle the people over there."
As soon as he walked over, he bumped into Shang Ruyi and Father-in-law Lu, Shang Ruyi saw clearly that this Jiang Chongen was about thirty years old, and he was a little handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Queen Jiang, but his expression was indifferent, and his eyes habitually rolled up, giving people a feeling of indifference.
β¦.
She was wearing a goose-yellow gown, the room was warm enough, the shirt was not thick, and it seemed that she was thin and thin, and her lips were not bloody, but even so, the gentle aura exuded from her body still made her whole person as gentle and moving as spring water, especially her cheeks were flushed with a sickly red because of the violent cough, at this moment, it revealed a different kind of delicateness.
"Yes, the word is against the ear......
As soon as he left, Gonggong Lu immediately went in to report, and immediately, Empress Jiang's gentle voice sounded inside: "Ruyi is here. Come in."
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "If it's fast, you should go to Yuanwu. Butβ"
"Oh."
Shang Ruyi said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is so filial, she will definitely be able to move the gods and Buddhas, and the mother will definitely recover as soon as possible."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "How dare Ruyi?"
"Don't worry,"
γβ¦β¦ Yes."
This is the first time Shang Ruyi feels that this Empress Jiang not only has the dignified beauty of a queen, but also has the beauty of a woman.
Empress Jiang smiled and nodded.
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and said with a little timidity: "In Feng Chen's heart, there is only the major matter of leading the troops to fight, and I am willing to listen to it, so he has nothing to do and will say something."
Empress Jiang said, "Is everything going well?"
Empress Jiang was sitting on the bed, looking at her with a smile.
Immediately felt that she shouldn't have thought of that kind of thing at such a time, and instantly her face was a little cold, and under the hot and cold attack, her face was also red and white, I don't know if others can see it.
Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Niangniang!"
Shang Ruyi's heart trembled slightly.
This was the first time she had entered the inner sanctum of the Queen's East Palace, and the interior was simpler than the outside, except for a dresser, a low table, and then a bed against the screen, only a few layers of veils hanging from the beams made the empty inner sanctum a little more indiscernible and complicated.
When Empress Jiang's coughing finally subsided, she gasped and whispered, "Chong'en, the hard work of this palace, you will know it eventually. Now, you better go back first, there are guests here in this palace, and we will be there in a moment."
Empress Jiang slowly leaned back, Shang Ruyi hurriedly took a pillow on the side to cushion her, she gasped for a while, finally calmed her breath, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, your family's auxiliary general has been on the expedition for several days, and I don't know where he is now."
It's the kind of beauty that can't help but be impressed!
She was even stunned for a moment, and Empress Jiang had already smiled and said to her, "Ruyi, you are here."
Seeing the difference in the look on Shang Ruyi's face, she thought about it and said with a faint smile, "Just now, I made you smile."
"Huh?"
After thinking about it again, she came back to her senses a little, it seemed that she had called Yu Wenye "second brother" in front of everyone before, which was her casual name at the beginning, and it was only later that she learned that it coincided with Princess Crescent's name for him, which sounded close, but in her heart, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
When Queen Jiang heard this, her eyes that were as soft as spring water seemed to be rippled by something.
After about half an hour, seeing that Empress Jiang was in poor spirits and a little tired, Shang Ruyi got up to say goodbye, and Empress Jiang asked Father-in-law Nalu to come and send her out of the palace, and repeatedly told her to send her back to Yuwen Mansion.
Shang Ruyi said: "Xie Niangniang remembers."
Empress Jiang leaned on the head of the bed and said gently: "Ruyi, the time for you to go out of the city to that Zhuangzi should be taken care of by yourself, Your Majesty will set off in six days, you must not come back on the wrong day - it is not good to catch up with it."
Shang Ruyi looked at her and said softly, "Ruyi understands."
