She took two steps forward, pushed Ruan Chulian's hand away, hugged her over, put her on the ground, supported Ruan Chulian, and asked, "Don't be afraid, it's okay now. It was Prince Li who saved you."
Li Yue lowered his eyes and looked at the empty embrace, his eyes darkened. He retracted his hand, put it in his sleeves, looked at Ruan Chulian, and said in a gentle voice: "Miss Ruan, it's okay."
Ruan Chulian slowly opened her eyes. She looked down and saw that she was standing safely on the ground, and she felt relieved.
"Okay, okay, it's okay." Xu Fengmi gently stroked her hair hanging behind her: "He Mingluan has been taken away by the government."
Ruan Chulian didn't care about this. She looked at Li Yue with a look of disbelief: "Did you save me?"
Li Yue nodded: "Yes."
Ruan Chulian's expression suddenly became complicated. She came back to her senses and glared at Li Yue fiercely: "Who wants you to save me? Even if I fall to death, I don't want you to save me!"
After saying that, she went upstairs angrily.
Xu Fengmi and Bai Qi looked at each other.
"Is there something bad between the Crown Prince and Chu Lian?" Xu Fengmi tried to find out some gossip, but she intuitively felt that there must be something fishy between them.
Li Yue chuckled: "Miss Ruan has just been in danger, Miss Xu should go and comfort her. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
Third floor, private room.
Xu Fengmi and Bai Qi watched helplessly as Ruan Chulian ate one pastry after another, both with complicated expressions.
"What happened?" Xu Fengmi asked, "Do you have any conflict with Li Yue?"
"No!" Ruan Chulian retorted loudly.
Okay, so there is.
"It feels like there's something weird between you and him."
"I told you no!"
"Okay, okay, if you say no, then there won't be." Xu Fengmi thought for a while, then said seriously: "What about He Mingluan? What are you going to do?"
Bai Qi: "Why are you two quarreling? And from the look on He Mingluan's face, I feel like she is acting weird today."
"I don't know either." Ruan Chulian herself was puzzled: "I just came out of the palace, and I remembered that when I came down, you said that King Zhennan was engaged to so and so. I remembered it at that time and muttered to myself
"Who is King Zhennan engaged to?" I just said this, and the man surnamed He jumped out, pointed at me and scolded me, but I was wronged so much, how could I bear this? I will definitely follow him
She is noisy!"
Bai Qi's expression was complicated. After a while, she slowly said: "As far as I know, He Mingluan has been in love with King Zhennan for a long time. I heard that King Zhennan saved her in the early years, so she was interested in him at that time.
King Zhennan fell in love at first sight. Therefore, her feelings for King Zhennan are quite strong."
"No." Ruan Chulian stuffed another cake into her mouth, took a sip of tea, and said, "No matter what, she can't vent her anger on me. I am so innocent and wronged!"
"However, since she did it herself and so many pairs of eyes saw it, you can't say that I framed her, right?"
Ruan Chulian said angrily: "Leave everything to the government."
"It's hard for the government to deal with it." Xu Fengmi looked thoughtful: "On one side is the Taifu's daughter, and on the other side is the queen's niece. Tsk, I think the people in the government will have a lot of headaches."
She thought about it again and again, turned her head, and asked mischievously: "Is there really nothing wrong with you and Li Yue?"
"We haven't seen each other for so long, don't force me to slap you."
"."
When we returned to Milou, the sky was shining brightly, and it was almost evening.
"It's the Chinese New Year." Xu Fengmi stood in the yard. She looked around and said, "Go buy some window grilles, lanterns, couplets and so on. It will give you a bit of a Chinese New Year atmosphere."
"Of course, we will only decorate the small building."
As the New Year is approaching, there are many more pedestrians on the street, most of whom are buying New Year goods.
It had been a while since I had seen Cheng Jingyi. Xu Fengmi did miss him, but she didn't know how to contact him.
"How about waiting at Qingfukuji Temple?"
With this in mind, Xu Fengmi got on the carriage and went to Qingfu Temple after having lunch.
"Is that the eldest sister's carriage?" Xu Fengruo happened to see Xu Fengyi going out: "Where are you going, eldest sister?"
In the carriage.
"A few days ago, the fourth girl came to Milou every day and wanted to see you, but we haven't seen you much these days." Xiaokui said casually.
Xu Fengmi yawned, ate two candied fruits, and said lazily: "I know what she wants to say, so I don't want to see her. When she knows my attitude, she will naturally stop coming."
She thought for a while and then asked: "What is He Lanying doing recently? Are you still thinking about some things that you have and don't have?"
"That's not true." Xiao Kui said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year recently. I heard that she is very busy. She has to deal with some of the fields and other things outside."
Xu Fengmi was surprised: "What? The Xu family has a farm outside?"
Xiaokui said with shame: "Girl, no matter how poor the Xu family is, they won't have no land and village, right? And the master is an official after all."
Xu Fengmi said oh.
She took two more mouthfuls of candied fruit and suddenly turned to look at Xiaokui: "What are the names of the people next to you and Cheng Jingrang? I forgot. Anyway, it's that person. Are you together?"
"His name is Jue Ming." Xiaokui twirled her fingers and muttered, "It's not like we're together, it's just... we're just a little close."
Xu Fengmi glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and poked her forehead: "Fuck her if you like her! Don't be so nagging, how will he know you like him if you don't tell her?"
Xiaokui raised her eyes and looked at her, and said quietly: "He knows I like him even if I don't say it. I also know he likes me even if he doesn't say it."
Xu Fengmi coughed lightly: "Forget it, I don't understand the love of you young people."
Kiyofukuji Temple.
Xu Fengmi was led to the side room by the monk.
"My slave still remembers that assassination." Xiaokui stood at the door and looked out: "It was really thrilling."
Xu Fengmi stretched out: "Cheng Jingrang shouldn't be here for a while."
Xiaokui asked: "What did they say?"
"It's said that the Taifu and the Queen were having a serious quarrel." Xu Fengmi leaned on the soft pillow, flipping through the storybook in his hand, and said: "The Taifu said that He Mingluan was unjust, and the Queen said that Ruan Chulian was pitiful. Just like this, back and forth, both sides
They refused to let go, so Cheng Jingrang went to deal with it."
Xiaokui screamed.
Shanshan arranged for someone to put a charcoal basin in the house, and the charcoal used was all fine silver bone charcoal.
"Girl, do we have to wait here all afternoon?" Shanshan asked.
Xu Fengmi turned over a page of the storybook: "Maybe. There's nothing going on anyway, so you two can have some fun."
So Xiaokui went to beg for some melon seed snacks, and He Shanshan sat at the door eating melon seeds and chatting, while Xu Fengmi was alone in the back room reading a book with great interest.
The sun is setting in the west, and golden color is gradually pouring into the house.
Xu Fengmi finally finished reading the novel in her hand. She threw it away and stretched: "What are you doing?"
