Chapter 8 The first time I saw Liu Ruyan
The prince was already handsome, and he laughed from the bottom of his heart at this time, and the appearance of Shen Jiayin in the palace in the afternoon were like two pictures.
The eldest prince's eyes fell on the table in the private room, and when he saw that there were only three dishes on the table, and there were traces of movement, he frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction:
"You two, will you eat just a little bit?"
Not only was the eldest prince surprised, but several of them all looked incredulous.
"Back to the words of the Great Prince."
Liu Ruyan, who had been standing beside the prince and couldn't speak, immediately stood up when she heard this, she first bowed down to the eldest prince gently, and then said with a virtuous look of mercy to all beings:
"It's the courtiers who think it's just a light meal, and it doesn't have to be too luxurious and wasteful, as long as the dishes are enough."
As soon as Liu Ruyan's words came out, Xiao Wei's face froze, he had just ordered a lot of dishes with Xiao Er.
It's not just Xiao Wei, but the other people brought by the eldest prince have more or less bad faces, their family backgrounds are relatively solid, and they are squandered at will on weekdays, where will they pay attention to these?
The eldest prince's face remained unchanged, but it was obvious that there was a trace of inexplicable contempt in his eyes when he looked at Liu Ruyan.
"Miss Liu is really as smart and virtuous as rumored."
"The courtiers thanked the prince for his appreciation."
Liu Ruyan smiled and bowed her head to thank you, everyone did a good job.
"Ruyan is a girl who is both talented and kind."
The prince's eyes were full of tenderness, and he looked down at Liu Ruyan and said.
Although they all knew that the prince already had a sweetheart, they didn't expect him to be able to do this, and everyone present was shocked when they saw it.
"Hmph, who is a good girl who would stay in a private room with so many men in one woman."
Yang Hua snorted coldly, what he hated most in his life was these pretending women, and he wouldn't get used to it if he couldn't get used to it.
"You ......"
Liu Ruyan raised her head suddenly, with tears in her eyes, and looked at Yang Hua aggrievedly, she never expected that Yang Hua would not even give the face of the prince.
"Yang Hua, don't talk nonsense here."
The prince glared at Yang Hua angrily, his face full of anger.
And Yang Hua just turned his face away, he was telling the truth, even the prince couldn't change this fact.
"Prince, courtier...... The courtiers retired first. ”
Liu Ruyan bit her lip, her face was pale, she bent slightly to the prince, and hurriedly turned around and left, regardless of the prince's retention.
"Like a ...... of smoke"
Seeing this, the prince also followed randomly, but when he passed in front of Yang Hua, he paused, stared at Yang Hua and said:
"This palace will settle accounts with you another day!"
After saying that, the prince hurried out.
After not seeing the prince's figure, Xiao Wei couldn't help but sigh:
"Since the prince got to know this Liu Ruyan, his temperament has changed a lot."
Xiao Wei paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Didn't you say that the daughter of the Shen family wanted to be the crown princess? There's a good show to watch now~"
"Xiao Wei, how can you discuss the matter of the prince?"
The eldest prince interrupted Xiao Wei's words lightly, although he said so, his eyes were looking at Yang Hua.
It was obvious that Yang Hua was stopping at the right point, but Yang Hua didn't pay attention to the eyes of the eldest prince at all, his family only listened to the emperor, the prince or something, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Yes, yes, the eldest prince said yes."
Xiao Wei immediately looked at the eldest prince like a dog, and nodded in response.
"The eldest prince, I have other things, so I won't accompany you to dinner."
Yang Hua also stood up, looked at the eldest prince and said.
The eldest prince did not stop him, and nodded lightly at Yang Hua.
Seeing this, Yang Hua took Shen Jiayin out of the private room together.
After such a toss, the sky was darker again, but there was still some time before the curfew, so Yang Hua took Shen Jiayin to wander around the street casually.
"You said you would take me to eat the new dishes in the Yueyue Building, why did you come out?"
Shen Jiayin looked at Yang Hua amusedly and asked.
"Well, even if you want to eat, you don't need to eat with so many men."
Yang Hua replied nonchalantly.
Although Ah Yin is now dressed up in disguise, if one day it is exposed, it is still very bad for her reputation for a woman to eat alone with so many men, although her original reputation is not good.
Shen Jiayin turned her head to look at Yang Hua's face and saw something, she suddenly felt that the Yang Hua beside her had changed, but as for where it had changed, she couldn't say for a while.
The girl's eyes flashed one after another, which was particularly prominent in this dark night, and Yang Hua's heart unconsciously danced with it.
Yang Hua blinked a little uncomfortably, and changed the subject:
"What do you think of Liu Ruyan?"
Speaking of Liu Ruyan, Shen Jiayin immediately put away her smile, and she said with some disgust:
"It's a pretend."
"That's your rival."
Yang Hua raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Jiayin with interest and said.
From what the few people said in the private room, Shen Jiayin knew that everyone knew about her entering the palace to see the queen, although she didn't say it explicitly, she must have already tacitly acquiesced that she was going to be the crown princess.
"For this kind of love rival, I have a way to make her show her true colors."
Shen Jiayin replied disdainfully.
"She Liu Ruyan is also a means, not only her, but also her father, who is not fuel-efficient."
Seeing that Shen Jiayin was so careless, Yang Hua couldn't help but remind:
"In just half a year, he Liu Yunshuo was able to climb from a small pen to the position of Zuo Cheng, which must be a means of success."
"Half a year?"
Shen Jiayin opened her mouth in surprise, looked at Yang Hua and said:
"How can he be a Zuo Cheng with a pen? Didn't anyone question him? ”
Seeing that Shen Jiayin was surprised now, Yang Hua looked at her with some amusement and asked:
"Since you chose to come back, didn't you make any preparations?"
Knowing that Yang Hua was making fun of herself, Shen Jiayin was not annoyed, she said without changing her face:
"If you hadn't bothered me, I'd have figured out these things a long time ago."
"Hehe~ Then you still blame me?" Yang Hua said with a light smile.
However, after seeing Shen Jiayin start to kick himself, Yang Hua hurriedly explained:
"Yes, yes, blame me, blame me."
"In fact, at the beginning, when he Liu Yunshuo was promoted from writing to Dali Temple, everyone didn't think so, thinking that it was just an ordinary promotion, and no one paid too much attention to it."
"It wasn't until later that he went through a few big cases and attracted the attention of the emperor, and after those cases were closed, he also sat in the position of Zuo Cheng, and everyone began to pay attention to him."
"There are so many forces in the court, so they are willing to give up such a good position?"
Shen Jiayin was still surprised, with her understanding of those people in the capital, this matter was definitely not that simple.
"Not really, there were a lot of people who opposed it at that time, and this matter was delayed for a while, but Zuo Cheng's position, whoever is allowed to sit on it will be controversial, and everyone wants to arrange their own people to go up."
"So later, as soon as they put it together, it was not impossible to let a person with no background sit on it, and there were more voices of support."
"Actually, the people on the eldest prince's side tried to woo him, but they didn't succeed, and in the end, it was rumored that Liu Ruyan went to the prince's feelings."
Speaking of this, Yang Hua also paused, he looked down at Shen Jiayin, his expression was a little inexplicable.
"It's just that I didn't expect the prince to be a love saint."
"Not necessarily." Shen Jiayin replied.
Yang Hua's steps forwarded, he looked at Shen Jiayin with some hesitation, and asked with a solemn expression:
"Why do you say that?"
The matter between the prince and Liu Ruyan, everyone in the capital knows, although everyone also has some doubts in their hearts, after all, the prince's identity is special, but he has a relationship with such a woman who has no strong family behind her, and it is really abnormal to announce it to the public, but no one can find the slightest clue.
If you are not completely sure of this, you can't just say it.
"Ah Yin, this matter is very important."
Yang Hua couldn't help but remind.
"I know."
Shen Jiayin saw that Yang Hua was so nervous, and also nodded seriously, and said:
"In the past three years, I met an old doctor half Buddha in Jiangnan by chance, and half Buddha taught me a lot of knowledge, although I am not 100% sure at the moment, but I still feel that eight or nine are not far from ten."
Yang Hua's heart jumped, his eyelids began to jump suddenly, he deliberately lowered his voice, and said:
"You mean the prince ......?"
Shen Jiayin nodded seriously.
She saw the prince twice, one was in the palace, he began to get excited when he talked about Liu Ruyan, and the other side was in Qinyue Tower, the prince was by Liu Ruyan's side, his face was slightly red.
If it were a normal prince, it would never be like this.
The two walked and walked, but unconsciously returned to the Shen Guogong Mansion, after Yang Hua saw it, his footsteps stopped unconsciously, he looked at the door of the Shen Guogong Mansion faintly, in the past three years, he had seen this door countless times, but he did not enter.
"Ah Yin, do you really want to be the crown princess?"
Shen Jiayin, who Yang Hua asked, was caught off guard, but when Shen Jiayin saw Yang Hua's solemn face, she also knew that her old friend was worried about herself.
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the endless lonely night is long."
"Ah Yin, you have to think about it."
Yang Hua's words were full of sincerity and worry, and Shen Jiayin knew that he was really doing it for his own good.
In a trance, Yang Hua's figure also became taller.
"Yang Hua, since we were born in Gaomen, we naturally have to shoulder the responsibility of Gaomen."
Shen Jiayin looked at Yang Hua seriously and said word by word.
"Really?" Yang Hua muttered.
He has always known this question, but he has always avoided it, but he didn't expect Ah Yin to be more decisive than himself.
Yang Hua turned around in a trance and walked into the night, and Shen Jiayin stood at the gate of the Guogong Mansion and watched him leave.
As the night deepened, it became even darker, so dark that it was impossible to see the road ahead or the danger ahead.
