Mrs. Ruan, who was far away in Wuzhou, was just trying to keep things under wraps and didn't know anything about the affairs in Beijing. She just thought of her as a little girl and lived a harmonious life with Cheng Xingqiu.
As for those letters, they were never delivered to the Ruan Mansion. They were intercepted by the Cheng family on the way.
The eunuch received the new emperor's oral edict and passed it word for word.
Mrs. Ruan's heart tightened, her hands loosened, and the half-tied bandage fell to the ground. She repeatedly confirmed, "Is it possible that you are looking in the wrong place? My daughter married the number one scholar of the Cheng family early, how could it be possible-"
How could it still be connected with today?
The eunuch said respectfully, "There can be no mistake. It is Ruan Yuyi, the daughter of the Ruan family."
After that, Mrs. Ruan packed her luggage, took a boat sent by the palace, and headed north by water. Although she was suspicious, she did not dare to delay.
The boat was near the inner shore. There were many people walking on the shore, withered willow branches were fluttering, and the cold wind was blowing. Mrs. Ruan abandoned the boat and got into the chariot. However, she did not go directly to the palace, but took care of the accompanying palace people and turned around.
And went to Cheng Mansion.
She had no idea what was going on, and after asking around a bit with the people accompanying her, she realized that there were many twists and turns.
It's true that her Ruan Mansion is not as good as before, but she just handed her daughter over to the Cheng family, and she didn't ask them to bully her like this.
Luo Mei Xuan.
Ruan Yuyi thought in her mind that she would be able to see her grandma today, so she woke up early and couldn't fall back to sleep. So she simply called Mu Xiang in to help her wash up.
After finishing applying eyebrow makeup, Mu Xiang held up various hairpins and compared them with her hair.
I don’t know if it is because the harem is not prosperous and there is nowhere to give away the hairpin rings used by my daughter, so there is a lot of surplus. Although His Majesty did not show any pity for the young lady when they met on the bed, he sent many of these items to Luo Mei Xuan.
.
She stared at the person in the mirror and said softly, "That's it."
Mu Xiangyin put the gold-embedded white jade hairpin in her hair and put on the same pair of hairpins. She wore a satin pleated skirt and a goose-yellow jacket, and her makeup was also pretty and pretty, completely
She doesn't look like a girl who has left the pavilion.
It’s rare for grandma to come to Beijing, and I’m afraid that the things at home are already enough to worry grandma, and it’s hard for her to report her worries.
At the feet of Emperor Kuang, even if the Ruan family has great abilities, they can't do anything to help her.
The rabbit in her arms curled up its ears twice, jumped off her knees, and nestled into its own little mattress. It curled up into a ball, its bright black eyes were missing, and it was all white as snow, which really looked like a rabbit.
It’s almost a ball of hair.
The wood spirit came in and gave it some food. "It doesn't move every day, whether it's on the little master's lap or sleeping in this mattress. One day it will be so fat that it can't walk."
She muttered for a while, then stood up and said, "The wife of the Ruan family is coming today? I have never seen her before."
Ruan Yuyi was happy that someone was talking about her grandma to her, and a smile appeared on her lips, "You'll know when you see her."
Just as he was talking, someone from the palace came to report that Mrs. Ruan was already waiting outside. She hurriedly welcomed her out.
I saw the figure under the platform in the distance, but I felt scared again. I hadn't seen her in the past two years. Although my clothes had changed, my description was still the same as in my memory, which seemed a little unreal in my mind.
Mrs. Ruan has willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a slim figure. Although she is old, it is not difficult to see the charm of her youth.
When bidding farewell to A Niang, her words flashed back in Ruan Yuyi's ears.
Auntie once said that if you want to get along well with your husband, you should not be a child. You must take good care of yourself. Whether you are happy or worried, you should write a letter to your home in Wuzhou every half month.
But Grandma, she couldn't even say a word. Not to mention that she has been sick several times in the past few days.
In the past, she was obsessed with the bad news about the eldest son of the Cheng family, and did not think of sending letters to her family. Later, even if she did send letters, she still received no reply.
Unknowingly, she burst into tears as she walked down Taiji step by step. The beads in her hair swayed slightly, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
She helped Mrs. Ruan who was saluting her, opened her lips, and after a while she said, "Auntie——"
After completing the etiquette, the two were able to get along as mother and daughter.
Mrs. Ruan really missed her very much and responded repeatedly. She took Ruan Yuyi's soft and boneless hand and looked up and down, "Our daughter is getting more and more beautiful now."
She was still about to say something, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of the red marks on Ruan Yuyi's neck, and her voice froze.
Her skin is already fair, but this mark is like a red plum falling on snow, which is really eye-catching.
She didn't know that Mrs. Ruan had noticed this. Everything she had planned before was completely overturned when she actually saw Aniang. She couldn't pretend to be strong, but she felt so wronged that she couldn't say a word because she was choked and shed tears.
Only in front of Mrs. Ruan did she let go of her guard and feel relaxed.
Mu Xiang, who was on the side, was moved and said, "It's cold outside, so the young master and his wife might as well go inside and talk."
Mrs. Ruan naturally recognized Mu Xiang and nodded in agreement with a smile.
When winter comes in the north, it gets cold very quickly. In addition, the new emperor thought that she was afraid of the cold, so he sent silver bone charcoal early. Ruan Yuyi thought that it was just winter, so she needed more now, and there would be more later.
It means not getting cold.
So there was only a little light in the house, but with the heat, it was much warmer than outside.
Mu Ling had already prepared tea and snacks and presented several cases.
She quietly glanced at Mrs. Ruan and thought to herself, the lady's demeanor in her movements was light and graceful, like moving lotus steps, and she was really very similar to the young lady.
Mrs. Ruan looked around and said warmly, "It seems that I am interested in my daughter now, so I feel more at ease." Normally, the wife of a guilty minister cannot step into the palace gate, so I made an exception and nodded.
, the emperor's kindness is so great, it shows his special treatment to her.
Moreover, the rooms here are exquisite and fully equipped with furnishings and furnishings. They are somewhat more luxurious than the Ruan Mansion in its heyday, just like Lin Palace.
Ruan Yuyi poured tea for her personally and paused after hearing this, "These are the rules of the palace, and every palace is indispensable." Now that mother and daughter are together, she doesn't want to talk about him.
She started the conversation, "My mother's journey north has been smooth, how's the situation at home?"
"Don't worry, Nanny, everything is fine." Mrs. Ruan lowered her eyes, but all the men in the family were gone, and she, the only aunt left behind, and a maid were barely living.
Thanks to the support from Mrs. Ruan's mother's family and some remaining money in the family, the family's livelihood can still be sustained.
While chatting casually, it was inevitable that things with the Cheng family would come up.
Regarding this matter, Mrs. Ruan felt guilty, thinking that she had pushed her daughter into the fire pit. "If I had known this, it would be better to keep my daughter in the house."
I originally wanted to find a good family for her, a young lady who would grow up with gold and jade in her mouth, but I couldn't bear to ask her to get used to such a poor life. I didn't want to, but I misjudged the person.
Whether it was resentment or joy, Ruan Yuyi had actually forgotten about it a long time ago. The matter with the Cheng family seemed to be a long time ago, "My mother-in-law is used to coaxing others, and no girl will stay in the boudoir forever."
One more person means one more mouth and one more expense.
