On the arhat bed made of brocade and rong, their sleeves were intertwined. Ruan Yuyi looked into his eyes, as if trying to find something there.
"Why do you ask this?"
She didn't answer.
Jiang Huaiyang sighed and tugged her hair, "When did I say I don't care anymore? Don't think too much about it."
His eyes were as dark as deep pools, just like ordinary ones. She couldn't tell clearly, and she didn't know how true or false his words were. She only knew that he was still willing to indulge her now.
She lowered her eyes. Suddenly she felt that her question was ridiculous.
He saw her thoughts and wanted to comfort her, but he saw that he was already healed and smiled slightly. Perhaps the injury in the dream had not healed yet, and there was a sudden pain in his heart.
It's better not to smile, because it makes him unable to tell when it is sincere and when it is not.
.
After Jiang Huaiyang left, Concubine Rong came right after her.
She took Ruan Yuyi's hand and sat on the short table with her on both sides of the couch. Someone from the palace brought tea, fruit and snacks to wait. Concubine Rong ignored the tea, covered her mouth and smiled, "I am concubine. The benefits are accurate."
When she was bored, she always wanted to find Ruan Yuyi as her companion. Knowing that the new emperor often stayed here, she observed him for two days and followed the point where he left.
In this way, she didn't have to meet the new emperor, spent more words and courtesy, and could come earlier. As for the rumors in the palace accusing her of being a clique, she had always ignored them.
"Next time, why don't I go to my sister's place, so that my sister won't have to count the time," she said. "When I go to your place every day and come to my place every day, the scenery in my eyes always changes, which is fresh."
Before she could finish her words, another palace official sent her a reward. In the past few days, the new emperor had sent her a lot of things. In fact, they were nothing more than cloth, silk, gold and silver.
Ruan Yuyi nodded slightly to the palace man and said, "Let it go for now."
The palace man lowered his hands in response and was about to retreat, but he heard Concubine Rong say, "Sister, why don't you open it and take a look?"
"But it's still those objects that accompany us every day, and we should get tired of looking at them." How could she be these yellow and white objects? Thinking of this, her eyes trembled slightly, and the words "care" in his mouth came again. came to her ears.
She wanted to believe it, but she couldn't believe it. Like a small animal leaving the forest for the first time, it stretched out its claws and touched the stone in front of her again and again. Even though she knew in her heart that the stone would not hurt her, she still couldn't stop it. test.
Concubine Rong was a little curious and asked the palace man to open the box.
Taking a closer look, it is true that what Ruan Yuyi said inside is mostly gold and jade. However, the rare softness of the ruler is all bright colors. There are not many of each, but there are many designs and colors.
And on top of those pieces of cloth, there was an exquisitely crafted longevity lock.
She was startled for a moment, quickly regained her composure, and turned around to joke, "It turns out to be some children's things. No wonder my sister wants to hide them. She is probably shy. It's also that she hasn't seen her shadow yet. If she shows up in the future -"
She probably wouldn't be able to have a child of her own, but maybe she could get to know Ruan Yuyi. Thinking of this, her loneliness disappeared.
"elder sister!"
She said this without any shame, which also made her face turn red.
Rong Bin smiled and held her hand again, insisting that she agree and let her become a godmother. Seeing Rong Bin's lively words, the maids around her also echoed her.
But after all, it was a matter of no shadow. Ruan Yuyi casually prevaricates it and doesn't want to mention it again.
The palace servant who brought the things was still waiting eagerly, and then she realized what she was doing and asked Mu Xiang to reward the things. The palace servant happily took them, weighed them, and hid them in her sleeves.
He was so happy that he couldn't help but say a few more words, "It is your Majesty who can leave these many things from the Queen Mother. I look at it, if there is not Your Majesty here, the Queen Mother would really like to have the palace for the eldest princess."
Evacuated.”
The boxes are piled up one after another, and the wood color may be dark or light, which is astonishing just to look at it.
Concubine Rong was startled and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest princess?" Why did she suddenly get into such a violent fight?
After hearing this question, the palace attendant became more and more interested in talking, "Don't you know, Your Majesty? Your Majesty just issued a decree yesterday to send the eldest princess to Khitan for marriage."
The Queen Mother had only one daughter left, so she was not willing to marry far away. Now she thought about Cheng Xingqiu's good fortune and made a fuss about it. But at that time, there was no new emperor to prove it, so the marriage was not counted, and the Queen Mother also
There is no way.
She could only add face to the dowry and do her best.
I heard that Princess Zhaorong was about to cause a quarrel in the princess mansion, and now no one dares to get close to her.
Ruan Yuyi listened to the palace people's exaggerated remarks, while shaking the tea cup in her hand. She remembered that when the envoy visited before, he indeed proposed to marry Dawu's daughter.
It's just that in the past, most people would choose a palace maid and send them with a temporary title, or choose one of the official women, but there was no such thing as asking the princess to marry far away.
Not to mention that Khitan doesn’t have such a big reputation——
Her hand suddenly stopped, and she suddenly remembered that Zhao Rong was already pregnant. Now that she was thinking about it, she was probably quite young.
Rong Bin had obviously thought of this too, and she looked at each other with surprise in the other's eyes.
Your Majesty is not sending the princess to get married, it is clearly a provocation. But the Khitan side is still seeking help from the Wu Kingdom, so they can't do it, so they have to bite the silver teeth and swallow the blood. But it is inevitable that the eldest princess will be caught in the middle.
This sacrifice.
Ruan Yuyi was obviously in a daze. She waved her hand to stop the palace man from talking and sent him down.
As soon as the palace man left, only she, Rong Bin, and one of their confidant maids were left in the main hall, and no one else was left.
Rong Bin sighed quietly, "Really, no matter what, the eldest princess is still half blood related to him."
She didn't know what to do, and she felt vaguely that with his temperament, he wouldn't do this just for provocation.
Concubine Rong also knew that it was not easy to discuss this matter, so she sighed and started talking about something else.
Ruan Yuyi stroked the rim of the cup absentmindedly.
"Is my sister tired?"
Only then did she come back to her senses, and she managed to curl her lips, "Yes."
Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Concubine Rong stopped dragging her around, gave her a few repeated warnings, and left. Ruan Yuyi took her arm and walked her to the palace gate, and that was all.
After returning to the palace, she kept feeling a little heavy. It was not that she felt pity for Zhaorong, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Cheng Xingqiu and Cheng Xingqiu were so clingy at that time, and her fate was completely changed because of the new emperor's words.
So what about the noble daughter of Jiangnan, and what about the eldest princess who is her direct biological father? After all, it was fate that played a trick on people. Why did Zhaorong think of her as an enemy at that time and fight for every cent?
This heavy feeling lasted until the next day.
The former owner broke into her palace.
The man's hair was slanted, his hair was slanted, he was swallowing thickly, his eyes were scarlet, and behind him came Cen Li and several guards, guarding her and looking like they were going to take her out at any time.
Ruan Yuyi looked calm and folded her coat, "It doesn't matter, just go down."
Several guards looked at each other and hesitated for a while. It was not until Cen Li led the way out that they made any move.
