Jiang Huaiyang stretched out his long hands and took the person to his knees, "Didn't I let you stay in the palace for the rest of your life?" It took a lot of time to get well, but if he catches the cold again, he will have to stay on the bed this year.
Ruan Yuyi knew that he was afraid that she would get sick, and seeing that he was willing to allow his concubine to come out to celebrate the New Year, she was happy to smile at him, "I'm fine, but Yan Baolin can't bear it anymore."
"Are you mentioning her in front of me?" He cupped the tip of the little lady's ear, which was really cold.
She arched her eyebrows and said, "It's too cold in my concubine's place. Come to your Majesty's place to warm it up." She said witty words and sat in his arms with a soft body, which inevitably made him feel hot again.
She was originally afraid of pain, but now she is extremely cooperative.
She hooked his neck to prevent herself from falling backwards. Through his shoulder, everything she could see was brilliant. She secretly thought, in this way, she didn't owe him anything.
Even though it was cold, he didn't dare to expose her to the cold, so he kept holding her cloak. After a while, he took her to wash her hands.
Ruan Yuyi was placed on the soft couch, moved a little, and found a comfortable position to settle down like a small animal. She rubbed her sore wrists from time to time, and asked, "Is this concubine disturbing your Majesty and your family?"
Is that the lord just now?"
He glanced at her and asked, "Is it too late to think about it now?" Although he didn't think it was disturbing.
She puffed up her cheeks and murmured in a low voice, "Anyway, I was so frightened when I saw that adult that I couldn't speak. But by chance, I gave him the chance to leave."
The words fell into Jiang Huaiyang's ears clearly, but he pretended not to hear them.
The palace attendant brought a plate of roasted chestnuts. The chestnuts were all round and plump, about the size of one and a half fingers of hers, and they were piled up like a mountain, which was particularly pleasing. She didn't feel hungry at first, but she was hooked.
Greedy.
She picked up one, but it was not cheap as it was wearing armor. Then she pressed the chestnut against the corner of the table, which was of course useless.
Just as she was about to take off her armor, another hand took away her chestnut. She raised her eyes and saw that he had already peeled out the chestnut meat and handed it to her lips.
She felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously hid behind her. Suddenly she paused again, fearing that he would be displeased, so she opened her mouth and ate from his fingertips.
He held the chestnut between his fingers. When she bit the chestnut away, she couldn't help but touch his finger.
No matter how cold the weather outside was, the little lady's lips and tongue were always warm and soft. Just touching his fingertips made him feel as if his fingers were melting away.
Ruan Yuyi felt awkward at first, but later she felt at ease. He probably had some free time, so he just gave it to her and didn't use it himself. The peeled chestnuts were placed in a white jade dish, which looked like gold and jade.
.
He moved his hands and said casually, "This cold disaster has ruined a lot of food for the people and taken away countless lives. The official who came just now concealed the matter and refused to report it."
"I sit high in the temple. I thought I would do my best in everything, but I still don't want to make such an oversight." He whispered.
She didn't expect that he would tell her this. Listening to the hardships of the people's livelihood, the chestnuts in her mouth lost a bit of flavor. She lowered her eyes and only said, "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
She didn't want to know why he told her these things, but she didn't want to break the rules or leave more hidden dangers for herself in the future.
Is it true that superiors have always been like this? When they are happy, they give some alms freely to make people feel that they are very close to them; when they are angry, all the intimate things in the past may become a reason to discard them.
He didn't seem to take this rule passed down from his ancestors to heart. "I have thought about it a lot, but I still feel that the only way to do it is to explore the people's sentiments."
The little lady lowered her head, and he could only see the top of her hair.
She picked up a chestnut, put it against his lips, pushed it in, and said warmly, "Your Majesty is wise."
He saw her eyes, which were calm and gentle, but could not reflect his shadow.
The wind and snow were still falling outside the window, seemingly endlessly, like wild beasts, beating on the doors and windows. A few wisps of wind came in through the gaps in the windows, making a terrifying scream.
.
The heavy snow continued until the next morning and then stopped a little.
In the white sky, a carriage of emerald green silk stopped in front of Yangxin Hall. Soon, the roof of the carriage was decorated with snow beads. Ruan Yuyi held her sleeves and walked straight towards the carriage.
Mu Xiang opened the soft curtain for her and saw Jiang Huaiyang already sitting in the carriage.
He has a straight back, wears gold-woven clothes, and has a handsome and gentle face. If he says which family he belongs to, most people will believe him.
She picked up her skirt and got into the carriage, and the curtain fell behind her to block the cold wind.
This private visit in disguise was too ostentatious. The only people accompanying him were Wen Zhi, Mu Xiang, and five or six bodyguards. A few people rode in another carriage and followed far behind.
The young lady wrapped herself completely in a white fox-collared cloak. The cloak was pulled over the lower half of her face, almost as if she was swallowing the clothes.
He suddenly felt a little dazed.
Somehow he remembered that time near Linglong Pavilion, when Cheng Rui bumped into Yu Jia and she came to pick him up with a face full of anxiety. At that time, he intended to invite the young lady into the carriage, but failed.
But now, isn't she on her own carriage?
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pulled down his cloak, exposing the lower half of his face, and his skin, which was like frost and snow, was flushed with a light red.
Maybe the car was light and the horse was fast. They left the palace and went all the way north. When they opened a corner of the curtain and took a look, they saw that the scenery was no longer familiar. There was still a day's journey to where they wanted to go, so Jiang Huaiyang called her to stare for a while.
She got up early today, and the carriage was shaking slightly, which seemed to shake her sleepiness out. She was indeed tired now, because she leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes.
He was afraid that the car would be too swaying and might wake someone up easily, so he let her lean on his shoulder.
There was a weight pressing on his shoulder, making him stay still for fear of disturbing her, and it seemed that even his breathing was a little lighter.
But Ruan Yuyi couldn't sleep for long.
When entering the next city gate, their carriage was stopped by someone. I don't know what happened in the city. The guard said in a cold tone, "We won't let you go today. Please take a detour."
When leaving the palace, the new emperor had already ordered to keep a low profile, so Wen Zhi got off the carriage and came to report.
He didn't know that Ruan Yuyi was sleeping, and she didn't hold back her voice when she spoke. When he quickly realized, she had already woken up with a groan.
He did not dare to raise his eyes to look at his master's face, so he lowered his voice and finished the matter.
If the identity cannot be exposed, in fact, the only way to solve the problem at this time is to stuff some yellow and white things. After receiving the order, Wen Zhi went to talk to the guard again, "Our young master is here to visit relatives, so it won't hinder anything."
As he spoke, Wen Zhi handed over the purse where their sleeves met.
The guard was startled, then he weighed it secretly and smiled, "Well, since we are visiting relatives, it's not easy to stop us."
