Chapter 37: Relief
An Ruo couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt at this moment, the anger of being deceived, the sadness of wrongly paying others, the self-mockery that he knew he shouldn't, and he couldn't control his feelings, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, which made An Ruo have a moment of tinnitus.
It wasn't until Xiao Zhan's voice sounded that An Ruo finally found himself.
"Mother, it's time for us to go in."
Yes, it's time to go in, everything should be dusted and dirt after you go in, and it's better to know earlier than to never be able to escape.
An Ruo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of clarity, and he strode towards the main hall.
She is here to participate in the game to earn bonuses, not to fall in love with NPCs, she is not Concubine Ning, she is not a young lady of the top ten families of the Federation, she has loan sharks to repay, and a sick mother to take care of......
An Ruo secretly warned himself that he would never forget his original intention.
"Concubine Dingniang has arrived."
With the singing and harmony of the people of the Taifu Mansion, An Ruo gave birth to a lotus step by step in the path where everyone knelt down and asked An to give way, and walked steadily towards Fang Ce, who had already stood up in the innermost.
"Uncle Wang is well, I have long heard the emperor say that Uncle Wang is brave and good at fighting, and when I see it today, he is really heroic." An Ruo had the most flawless smile on his face, as if today was the first time he had seen Fang Ce, and his tone was polite and detached.
Fang Ce moved his lips, he had tried to tell An Ruo his identity earlier, but these days An Ruo closed his door, and the palace guards he brought surrounded An Ruo's courtyard layer by layer, heavily guarded. He didn't want to affect An Ruo by exposing himself, so he never met her.
thought that there was a chance to tell An Ruo slowly, but now his intuition told him that An Ruo was like this, and he was afraid that he would not call him Ace again.
A thousand words finally turned into a sigh, and Fang Ce replied with patience and restraint: "Concubine Ding's mother praised it falsely. ”
An Ruo pursed the corners of her lips, tried her best to withdraw her gaze from Fang Ce, and turned around to let the guests be polite.
Only a distance away from Fang Ce's tea table, An Ruo, who was somewhat distracted, after a brief polite exchange with the ministers, was about to get up and go to the place where the ladies were feasted in the inner courtyard under Xiao Zhan's reminder, but as soon as she got up, the teacup in Fang Ce's hand fell on the hem of her skirt.
"Does Concubine Dingniang have burns? The king's hand was slippery for a while, and he didn't want to ruin the girl's dress, but he couldn't help it, and he was in Mobei before, and he seized a lot of gorgeous fabrics, and he sent it to Zhaoyang Palace in the future, so it was regarded as the king's apology. ”
An Ruo stared at the tea stain on the hem of her skirt, her expression changed for a while, how could she not know that Fang Ce did it on purpose.
"Uncle Wang is polite, it's just a piece of clothing, don't worry about it."
An Ruo took Xiao Zhan and hurriedly came to the side hall, raised her hand to stop Xiao Zhan from preparing to change her dress, and stared at the door and waited silently.
Sure enough, after just a cup of tea, Fang Ce pushed the door in.
"This king has something to say to your master, you go and guard the door."
Xiao Zhan didn't even look at An Ruo, curtsy and then went to the door to guard.
This made An Ruo stunned, whose girl is this Xiao Zhan? How can you be more respectful to Fang Ce than to yourself?
"Time is limited, I'll make a long story short, I didn't mean to lie to you at the beginning, I was afraid that you would be estranged and unwilling to get close to me, I went to the pavilion of Taifu Mansion to wait for you every night in the past two days, I want to tell you my identity, but I haven't seen you, don't blame me for this, okay?"
An Ruo suppressed his doubts about Xiao Zhan and looked up at Fang Ce in front of him, his expression was so sincere and sincere, eager and gentle, but it was a pity that no matter how similar the system was, it was not a real person.
"It doesn't matter, after all, if it weren't for Xiao Zhan's call, the palace wouldn't have planned to admit that she was a concubine. If Uncle Wang has nothing else to do, the palace will have to change his clothes. ”
Fang Ce grabbed An Ruo's hand, looked directly into An Ruo's eyes, and said, "You're blaming me, you don't even call me Ah Ce anymore." Do you want to be separated from me just because of one identity? Obviously, you said that if you have the opportunity in the future, you will accompany me to watch the lights go out in Qionglou. ”
Fang Ce's hand was hot and persistent, just as he looked at his gaze at this time, An Ruo lowered his head and pulled the corners of his mouth a little sadly, and then raised his head with a blank face.
"Uncle Wang, please respect yourself, the promise of the day is a joke. After all, Uncle Wang himself said that he should have a chance. The people in this palace are in the harem, where will they have the opportunity to accompany Uncle Wang to watch the scene where the lights of thousands of homes are extinguished, this is not true. An Ruo paused for a moment and spoke again: "From the beginning, we were not sincere to each other, and no one can blame anyone. ”
Fang Ce was about to say more, there was a sound outside the door, Mrs. Wang had already ushered in her wife, and the wedding was about to begin.
"Uncle Wang should let go of the palace and go back quickly, presumably the emperor is also coming, don't provoke people and ruin Uncle Wang's reputation."
Fang Ce's hand tightened and tightened, and finally he had no choice but to let go.
"I'm not afraid of these tongues, but I know you're afraid. Ruoruo, one day you and I will meet justifiably, but I hope that at least until then, you don't fall in love with Wei Yan, wait for me, is it okay? ”
Love? With two NPCs?
An Ruo chuckled and shook his head: "Uncle Wang doesn't have to say this, no one in this palace will fall in love, and please go back quickly, this palace is going to change clothes." ”
An Ruo's expression was not perfunctory, Fang Ce pressed the words in his heart, turned his head and walked out, there are still three years to play, and they will have a long way to go.
Waiting for Fang Ce to disappear in front of her, An Ruo sighed softly, of course she would not fall in love with Wei Yan, but she would definitely not let herself fall in love with Shang Ce again, it was just a game, could she not only have to be prepared to lose her life, but also throw a heart on NPCs? Things that are destined to have no results, why let yourself plant a sad seed early.
There was footsteps behind him again, and An Ruo looked back, but it was Xiao Zhan who came in with his clothes.
"Did you already know that Young Master Fang was Prince Xian? Why didn't you tell me? And just now Prince Xian asked you to go out, you went out, why did you listen to him so much? ”
Xiao Zhan blinked slightly innocently and replied, "Prince Xian's mother's surname is Fang, and she always calls herself Young Master Fang when she walks outside. Niangniang has a mouthful of Young Master Fang, and the slave maid still thinks that Niangniang knows that Young Master Fang is Prince Xian. And Prince Xian is the master, of course the slave and maid have to be obedient, didn't Niangniang deliberately wait for Prince Xian here just now? ”
Being speechless when asked by Xiao Zhan, and she couldn't be angry with the NPC lady, An Ruo gasped several times before she calmed down, and then reacted, she had just rejected Fang Ce, Fang Ce was an NPC, would this affect her NPC favorability?
An Ruo cried and asked Xiao Zhan, "Xiao Zhan, do you think you hate me when you look at me now?" ”
"What is the mother talking nonsense? How could Xiao Zhan hate Niangniang. Niangniang should hurry up and change her clothes, the slave listens, the emperor's ceremonial frame has arrived at the gate of the Taifu Mansion, we have to go to meet it! ”
It is already possible to offend an NPC, and it is absolutely impossible to offend another one, An Ruo cooperated with Xiao Zhan to quickly change his clothes and go to the main hall.
It's a pity that it turns out that it takes too long for the girl to change her clothes, and An Ruo still didn't catch up to greet Wei Yan, when she arrived in the main hall, Wei Yan was already sitting in the main hall.
"The concubines see the emperor."
An Ruo was just about to bend his knees, but Wei Yan had already stepped forward to help the person up, held An Ruo's hand and rubbed it twice, and brought the person into the seat with great affection.
And the two of them just made such a simple move, Fang Ce already needed to clasp his hands so as not to lose his temper.
