"But, Sister Fairy, there is not as much warmth in this palace as I want."

Xuanyuan Rou lowered her head, her big shining eyes full of loneliness.

"Ninth Princess, why must the warmth be given by others, and not when you are strong, you give it to yourself? Besides, you still love your father so much, and you care so much about your brother Si Chen. ”

These words were also what she advised herself over and over again when she was a child.

"Sister fairy, do you have one?"

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Rou raised her head, her eyes full of curiosity.

"I have."

When Ruan Li heard this, she was stunned for a moment, thinking of her uncle and brothers, two sweet dimples appeared on her lips.

"Sister Fairy, you smile so beautifully......" For a moment, Xuanyuan Rou was stunned, "Sister Fairy, I also want to be the person who can make you warm." ”

Xuanyuan Rou seemed to have made up her mind, clenched her immature fists, but her face was full of determination.

Seeing Xuanyuan Rou like this, although she knew that this might be just Xuanyuan Rou's childlike words, a warmth rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister fairy, I wasn't angry before because I didn't want you to be with Brother Si Chen, I was just angry that you and Brother Si Chen hid it from me and didn't tell me. However, I have no malicious intent, I liked you very, very, very much when I saw you for the first time, you are my favorite person except for Brother Si Chen, you are the most capable and only fairy sister who can be worthy of Brother Si Chen. ”

Suddenly thinking of something, Xuanyuan Rou wrinkled her little face again, pulled the corner of Ruan Li's clothes and said,

"Sister fairy, you have to be careful of the queen mother."

Hearing this, Ruan Li leaned down very quickly and grabbed Xuanyuan Rou,

"Ninth Princess, you can't say this, you must not mention this sentence in front of outsiders in the future, do you know?"

Xuanyuan nodded heavily, and said with a very heavy face,

"Everyone is telling me that the Queen Mother is a gentle and kind good person, even my grandmother doesn't believe me, but my intuition tells me that she is not a good person, and no one believes me."

Xuanyuan Rou's tone was full of loneliness, so that Ruan Li couldn't help but touch her head.

"Okay, I see, thanks for the reminder."

She played with Xuanyuan Rou for a while, and Shen Sichen came to pick up Ruan Li after discussing with the emperor.

"Nguyen Nguyen."

As soon as he came, he saw Ruan Li standing under the tree teaching Xuanyuan Rou to play a slingshot.

Looking at this scene, he smiled, and he knew that his family Ruan Ruan had the ability to calm Rou'er down.

Hearing this, Ruan Li and Xuanyuan Rou couldn't help but raise their heads.

"Brother Si Chen~"

Xuanyuan screamed sweetly twice, but this time, she didn't pounce again, but retreated behind Ruan Li.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Rou pushed Ruan Li, Ruan Li's center of gravity was unstable, and she threw herself into Shen Sichen's arms.

Unexpectedly, seeing Ruan Li rushing over, Shen Sichen also subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch Ruan Li.

Ruan Li didn't dare to raise her head, and a large blush on her face was like a sunset.

"Sister Fairy and Brother Si Chen are really a good match."

Behind him, Xuanyuan Rou heard a joking voice and clapped his hands.

"Rou'er."

Ruan Li turned her head and called her out pretending to blame, and distanced herself from Shen Sichen a little.

Who knows, after Ruan Li left Shen Sichen's arms, Shen Sichen had a feeling of emptiness, and there was an indescribable amazement in his heart.

Taking advantage of the gap when Ruan Li turned his head, Shen Sichen made a praising gesture to Xuanyuan Rou.

"Okay, I won't bother Sister Fairy and Brother Si Chen, you two can live your own two-person world."

With that, she jumped away.

"Then let's go."

With that, Shen Sichen took her away.

When passing by Yixiang Palace, she smelled the fragrance of osmanthus one after another, and the palace door was not closed and opened, and she looked up at the palace.

She saw a plain woman with a big belly.

Shen Sichen followed her line of sight and also saw the woman.

"That was the emperor's new favorite last year, it was the nobleman of the month, the emperor loved her very much, no matter what good things were, he sent them to her as soon as possible. No, I'm pregnant this year. ”

Shen Sichen saw Ruan Li's curiosity and explained to her.

"But it's strange to say, it stands to reason that since giving birth to Rou'er, the emperor has never thought of touching the concubines of the harem, but he actually touched the Yue noble."

However, after glancing at Ruan Li next to him, there were still some words that Shen Sichen still didn't say after all.

Hearing Shen Sichen's words, Ruan Li nodded, and prepared to withdraw her gaze and leave the palace.

Who knows, just a second before she retracted her gaze, she saw Yue Guiren's face.

Yue Guiren's face is a little similar to her face.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at her at the party that day, the dowry that Xuanyuan Chen prepared for her mother and the dowry that Xuanyuan Chen gave her, Xuanyuan Chen's concern for her uncle, her uncle's evaluation of Xuanyuan Chen, and the face of the Yue noble, all by one, surrounded her heart, so that she gradually had a vague guess.

Returning to the carriage and looking at Shen Sichen next to him, Ruan Li felt that maybe Shen Sichen was a breakthrough to understand things.

"General Shen, I still want to trouble you to tell me about Empress Shen."

"My sister?"

"Hmm."

"Why are you interested in my sister?"

"I just want to ask, if General Shen doesn't want to say it, don't say it."

"No, no, you can say it."

Shen Sichen said extremely quickly, for fear of upsetting Ruan Li.

"My sister has been quiet and silent since she was a child, but in the year when Aunt Ruan Li moved to Kyoto, my sister experienced a fall into the water, and it was like a different person, she became more gentle, but with a different mind. She taught me to be determined to serve the country, she taught me to protect the people I loved, she taught me to give others a lifetime and a couple, she taught me that there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in this world, the difference between high and low, everyone is equal. ”

Shen Sichen's words were very calm, but there was sadness in his eyes.

"She is like a bird, she likes freedom, she doesn't like restraint, like Aunt Ruan Li, the two of them don't want to be swayed by secular prejudices, and they don't want to be bound by the so-called three obedience, four virtues and etiquette. However, later, Aunt Nguyen Li married your father, and my sister was willing to become a prison bird in the palace for love, but for some reason, the two of them have not seen each other for two years after they got married.

Later, when the Ruan family was wiped out, it was too late for my sister to rush over. For this, my sister has always regretted it. ”

Hearing Shen Sichen's words, Ruan Li remembered her uncle's words.

Her uncle had told her since she was a child that she had become famous when he found her mother, but she always said that she was from another world, and that she did not die, but went back to the world to which she should return.

So, in this case, is Empress Shen also from that world?

"Then did my mother know your sister before she moved to Kyoto?"

"I don't know, but after my sister fell into the water, I often heard her mention a woman, how noble she was, how dazzling she was, I think, the woman my sister was talking about at that time was Aunt Ruan Li. Later, when they met again, I obviously didn't remember my sister and such a woman, but they just had a rare tacit understanding, like good friends for many years. ”

When Ruan Li heard this, she frowned, and sure enough, it was so.

"Shen Sichen, then let me ask you, do you think it is possible for them to like the same person, or do they have an incomprehensible three-person sadomasochistic relationship?"

She always felt that it was impossible for a strange woman like her mother to fall in love with a cowardly like Xie Hua.

Hearing Ruan Li's words, Shen Sichen was stunned and replied,

"How is it possible, Aunt Ruan Li will not like the emperor."

"Shen Sichen, you see, when it comes to the relationship between the three of you, your first reaction is between the emperor and the three of them, not between Xie Hua and them. How did a person like my mother who was above the top take a fancy to Xie Hua? ”

She said softly, but Shen Sichen didn't know how to pick it up.

Indeed, he still remembers Aunt Ruan Li's peerless and amorous appearance, how could such a strange woman fall in love with Xie Hua's cowardly bag back then? Why did she marry Xie Hua without hesitation, despite everyone's dissuasion?

After that, there was a strange silence.

And Ruan Li also had a guess in her heart.

Her uncle always praised Xuanyuan Chen in governing the country, but when someone mentioned Xuanyuan Chen's concubine, he always looked disdainful. He also always told Ruan Li that the king was ruthless, not to find a royal man, and would rather control the idle clouds and wild cranes for a lifetime than enter the palace gate for the rest of his life.

If Xuanyuan Chen liked his mother back then, and his mother also liked Xuanyuan Chen, some things would make sense. Her uncle said that her mother was an extremely affectionate person, so is it possible that her mother would marry Xie Hua because Empress Shen ruthlessly cut off her relationship with Xuanyuan Chen?

If this is really the case, inexplicably, she actually has some reaction to Shen Sichen.

After arriving, Shen Sichen got out of the car first, he waited next to the car, and when he saw Ruan Li come out, he stretched out his hand in front of her, wanting to help her get out of the car.

But who knows, Ruan Li didn't even look at it, and got out of the car directly.

Anan behind him looked shocked, and glanced at Xiao He next to him, neither of them knew if something had happened in the car just now.

"Young master, did you make the young lady angry just now?"

Anan couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Who knew that he got an unhappy answer from the young master of his family, "How do I know." ”

Anan suddenly closed his mouth.

Sure enough, the gentle young master will only appear in front of the young lady.

As soon as Ziyu on the other side entered the door, someone came to tell her that her young lady had moved the yard and moved next door to her general.

When she found out, she was very happy to tell her young lady.

Who knew that Ruan Li was unhappy.

"Shen Sichen is really crazy."

So, when a certain general cleaned up his face and happily came to Ruan Li, "Ruan Ruan! ”

"Get out!"

Then, Ruan Li closed the door of the courtyard, and Shen Sichen was blocked out just as he was about to enter the door.

He looked at the closed door with a bewildered expression, thinking and thinking.

Tell them to change this door tomorrow, or knock on another door outside their house.

Well, that's all.
