Ruan Yuyi had no clue about the huge Shenghe Temple and could only find one place at a time.
She hurriedly walked through the path, her skirt brushing against the bushes on one side, and she didn't even notice the dew on her clothes.
She didn't know how long she had been going around, but Cheng Rui was nowhere to be seen. She felt a little uneasy, wondering if there was any news from the others.
Ruan Yuyi suddenly noticed that they were walking along the same wall, and they thought they were coming to the main courtyard on the other side.
As he was about to walk forward, he saw a tall man standing by a hibiscus bush not far away. His lips were open and closed and he couldn't hear what he was saying. There was a man beside him who was listening with his head down.
While Jiang Huaiyang was explaining matters related to the court to Wen Zhi, he was carelessly pinching the branches and leaves of the hibiscus bush.
It is when the hibiscus flowering period is coming to an end, some of the petals are curled up and stained with a withered yellow signifying decadence. The fallen petals are scattered on the ground, piled up in layers.
Wen Zhi glanced and noticed Ruan Yuyi, who was slowly walking over. He signaled Jiang Huaiyang with his eyes, "Master."
Jiang Huaiyang paused and looked sideways.
Seeing that Ruan Yuyi was wearing plain clothes today, there was some surprise in her eyes. Others might look boring when dressed like this, but on her body, she looked soft and elegant. The hem of the skirt was wide and could not help fluttering when she moved around.
It seems like there are clouds and mist lingering.
Although the charm is different from the previous times I met him, it still suits her.
Ruan Yuyi stopped in front of him and bowed, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Jiang Huaiyang said quietly, "Get up."
Wen Zhi on the side glanced at the master quietly. Prince Jing had not yet established a heir apparent, and the only heir apparent in the current dynasty was the one from Prince Yu's palace. He didn't know what the master was thinking about, and wanted to hide this from the young lady of the Ruan family, so that she would become obsessed with him.
I have no doubt about Prince Wang.
Jiang Huaiyang subconsciously took a look at her earlobes, which seemed to be less red and swollen, and asked, "How is the medicine used?" It's not that he didn't notice that she wasn't wearing the earrings, but he was not unreasonable and understood that this was justifiable.
She recalled the small wooden box with exquisite patterns, "Thank you, Your Highness, it's much better." It was indeed miraculous. After applying a thick layer of Muxiang on her, within a short while, she felt that the burning pain on her earlobes was relieved a lot.
Before Jiang Huaiyang even noticed it, he felt slightly relieved after hearing her words.
"Your Highness," Ruan Yuyi raised her head and looked at Jiang Huaiyang with a pair of affectionate almond-shaped eyes, "Have you ever seen a man of such stature, wearing a robe with stone green elastic and ink vine sleeves, passing by here?"
She thought that she could ask them about Cheng Rui. The two seemed to have been here for a long time. If Cheng Rui had passed by here before, they might have seen him.
Seeing Ruan Yuyi's gestures, Wen Zhi roughly knew who it was, and he answered, "Is the girl asking about that idiot?"
"Exactly." She nodded.
Wen Zhi glanced at the courtyard gate not far away. They had just come out of the concubine's place. They saw Cheng Rui inside and chatting happily with the concubine. The concubine's coaxing him was just like the one she had more than ten years ago.
, Prince Xue Yu’s appearance is the same.
"He..." Wen Pheasant was about to answer.
But he was interrupted by Jiang Huaiyang, "I've never seen it."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was startled. Even though he knew where the person she was looking for was, he still blurted out a lie. In a secret part of his heart, maybe he didn't want her to know that he was not Prince Yu's crown prince.
"In that case, I will disturb Your Highness. I have something important to do, so I will leave first." Ruan Yuyi was a little disappointed, bowed and planned to leave.
It seems that they didn't know that Cheng Rui had come to see the concubine, and thought she was missing, so they went out to look for her.
However, although the backyard of Shenghe Temple is close to the mountains and forests, it is well-guarded. Since the brown bear incident a few years ago, the relevant loopholes have been improved, and there have been no related incidents again. If this is the case, why is there such a shortage of people that she is sent to a young girl?
Madam came to look for it herself.
Looking at Ruan Yuyi's slender back in plain clothes, I just thought she was being bullied by her family.
"Stay here." Jiang Huaiyang called to her and then told Wen Zhi, "Go and help find the person."
Wen Zhi blinked.
It is impossible for the master not to know that the idiot is in the yard separated by a wall from them, but he used the word "find" to ask him to wander around a few more times and pretend to be struggling?
He thought to himself and left.
Ruan Yuyi thought that since the prince was here, it would not be a problem to mobilize more monks to help, so she relaxed a little and thanked him softly.
Somehow, Jiang Huaiyang always felt that when the person in front of him was not pretending to be a promiscuous person, he actually looked naturally charming, and became more and more similar to the figure in his dream.
He cleverly picked out a hibiscus that bloomed quite brightly, removed the branches and vines, put his fingertips against the base of her ears, and pinned the hibiscus into her temple.
Her ears were small and delicate, and the light pink color lined the small reddish wounds on her ears. The flowers seemed to have broken through her skin and grown on her body, so delicate and beautiful that it made people admire her.
Ruan Yuyi's ear was rubbed by a rough branch, she subconsciously raised her head, her eyes widened, "Your Highness? This is..."
She touched the thing on her temples and felt a soft and smooth mass.
It's a flower.
"This is called hibiscus," Jiang Huaiyang sneered, "Did the embroidery of the sachet you wore last time be half as spiritual as this?"
Her female beauty is obviously good. When she was still in Wuzhou, even her mother came to her for advice. Ruan Yuyi was not convinced, but she did not dare to say anything, and she only puffed her cheeks slightly.
I don't want to be caught in Jiang Huaiyang's eyes.
Cheng Xingqiu happened to pass by this place while looking for someone, but he happened to see a stranger putting a hairpin on Ruan Yuyi's hair. His heart sank, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ruan Yuyi's forearm, and hid the person behind him.
His tone was unkind, "Who are you? Why are you having sex with other people's ladies?"
After Jiang Huaiyang heard the words "lady", for some reason, his heart suffocated, and he felt as if he was far away from her, as if he realized that he was not the only one who was bound to the woman in front of him.
Hearing this, he did not answer immediately, but suppressed his thoughts and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I guess this is Cheng Xingqiu, the number one scholar in the previous dynasty. He never thought that this person's ability was impressive. The latter two are now important officials in the court, but they rejected the Hanlin Academy's recommendation for him.
We have only met each other once, so it is normal for us not to recognize ourselves.
"Is this your wife?" He chuckled. He didn't know which maid she was, but she thought she was a maid. She was so unsympathetic and had to do such a labor-intensive task as searching for someone.
Cheng Xingqiu was startled by the other party's laughter. Because he didn't want to lose face in front of Ruan Yuyi, he said in a deep voice, "A boy from some family doesn't know any rules."
Whose rules does he want to follow?
Even though Jiang Huaiyang was smaller than the other person, his aura was not weak. He looked at Cheng Xingqiu, his voice was lazy and dismissive, which was particularly nice to hear, "Can you tell me what my Dawu rules are?"
Even though he knew the rules, he still did something to kill his wife.
Cheng Xingqiu didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, but Ruan Yuyi's heart tightened when he heard it. "Stop talking." She whispered and gently pulled down his sleeve.
If the noble person in front of him is offended, it is hard to say whether the entire Cheng family will be implicated.
It was rare to see her with a soft attitude, and Cheng Xingqiu was unwilling to carry her behind his back, so he really stopped confronting her.
"Lingling, if you are tired, go back and rest." He gathered the cloak for her, "Leave Rui'er's affairs to me."
Ruan Yuyi resisted his touch and subconsciously hid.
He felt a darkening in his eyes, but he did not expose her.
"Let's search separately, so we don't waste time." Ruan Yuyi gathered her shawl and pointed to the two forked roads ahead.
Cheng Xingqiu couldn't find the words to argue, so he nodded in agreement. He was relieved to think that she didn't refuse him to call her "wife".
