Ruan Yuyi was held in his arms, raised her head slightly, and looked into those lacquered eyes.
She felt that she was probably still drunk, so she could see a little sadness in it. How ridiculous, how could someone who could even abandon her life and death show such emotions.
She pulled away and took a small step back, closing the distance between the two of them. The hand on her shoulder slid all the way down to her wrist, and then to her fingertips.
Jiang Huaiyang's heart tightened and he grabbed her fingertips.
He looked at her silently for a while and then said, "Where have you been today?"
"Let's have a banquet and enjoy the scenery," she paused, then suddenly sneered, "If your Majesty wants to know, just arrange a few eyes and ears around me. Why bother asking? Isn't this a method used by your Majesty?"
She spoke slowly, but her voice was cold. She seemed to be thinner than the last time I saw her, with slender temples and a pair of eyes that looked like weeping but not weeping, like willow branches in the wind, weak but tough.
His expression darkened a bit.
"lie."
This banquet was obviously just a disguise, the ladies who came were hiding from others, and the rest of the gentlemen came here just to look at each other.
Chill climbed up her spine, and she shuddered, but still met his gaze and said, "Your Majesty, are you admitting it?" Sure enough, he still placed someone beside her.
In this case, when he said that he removed the people around her last time, was he just trying to coax her? In fact, he was somewhat conniving at what the Queen Mother did. In this way, he could hold the Queen Mother's hand and have reason to put her to death.
Got an unfilial reputation.
She didn't want to be suspicious, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that he could really do such a thing.
Jiang Huaiyang didn't know what she was thinking, but he knew that she didn't like it after that, so he really didn't put any more eyes and ears around her.
He squeezed into the seam of her hand, held her hand tightly, lowered his eyes and sighed, saying, "Don't ever talk to me in such a tone." This mouth can express tenderness even if you don't want to.
The cold words and sarcastic words poke people's hearts.
She didn't take his words to heart. She struggled a few times, but his grip tightened. She moved her eyes and caught a glimpse of the hot tea on the table.
She couldn't stay here any longer, she almost couldn't help but shed tears. Feeling anxious, she picked up the cup of hot tea and poured it on his hand.
The movements of her hands were faster than she thought. When she touched the wall of the cup and felt the unusual heat, the water was already pouring out.
His hand was quickly covered in red.
She couldn't help but splash some on her own hands, and the hot tea burned her so much that she couldn't help but groan. He finally let go of his hand.
I thought that this aloof king was going to be angry, but he didn't seem to pay attention to the red patch on his hand at all, and was not affected by it at all. Instead, he held her hand.
"Is it burned?" He frowned.
Before she could answer, his cold kiss fell and covered her injury. In fact, because his hand was on her just now, she was splashing it on him, so what she got was far less than the splash.
There are so many of them, and now it doesn’t hurt anymore.
Staring at the red back of his hand, I suddenly felt a soreness on the tip of my nose.
He frowned even more and rubbed the tears from her eyes with his fingertips, "Why are you crying?"
Only then did Ruan Yuyi feel that her face was wet. There were some thin calluses on his fingertips, which rubbed against the soft skin under her eyes, causing her to hide back.
He was obviously stunned for a moment, placed her on the soft couch, and left.
Her cheeks rested on the pillow, and for some reason, her tears couldn't stop, and they dripped out violently, wetting a large area.
Perhaps it was Jiang Huaiyang's order. As he walked forward, Muxiang came in with a copper basin filled with warm water. She stood up and saw a blurry face reflected in the bottom of the copper basin.
After taking off her hairpin and cleaning her face, her tears finally stopped.
Mu Xiang waited on the bed and lowered the curtains. She was probably a little tired, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Therefore, she did not notice Xuan Yi's figure standing beside her bed late at night.
.
When she got up the next morning, she sat in front of the mirror and let Mu Xiang tie her hair.
Mu Xiang hesitated for a long time, then asked softly, "Did Miss sleep well yesterday?"
She nodded casually. The memory of yesterday's hot tea came up uncontrollably, like a stem that was pulled out from the ground, pulling out thousands of roots from the ground.
She treated him the way she did yesterday, thinking that he would never come again. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little blocked in her heart.
When Mu Xiang saw her nodding, she finally let go of her worries that had been hanging all night.
After finishing dressing up, Ruan Yuyi took Muxiang to Mrs. Ruan's place to say hello.
Mrs. Ruan had been awake for an unknown period of time. She was sitting at the table, tucking herself in bed. When she saw her coming, she waved her over with a smile.
Maybe she was infected, she couldn't help but smile, and she felt much more relaxed.
After a while, the elder brother and the others also came. Xian'er couldn't stop chattering, taking advantage of her daughter's body, holding Ruan Yuyi's arm and acting coquettishly, while quietly giving Ruan Zhuoying a very provocative look.
Ruan Yuyi was so troubled by her that she had no time to think about anything else.
.
After leaving Mrs. Ruan's courtyard, she saw Meng Jin waiting in front of her own courtyard. He was standing under the tree in front of the courtyard with his hands behind his hands. He slightly raised his head and looked at the lush and moist leaves on the tree. It made people feel that he was almost falling asleep.
In an instant, some verses will be chanted.
Ruan Yuyi hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, "Why are you here, sir?"
When he heard the sound, he tilted his head and smiled warmly, but his words were straightforward, "I'm waiting for you, my queen."
She felt that something was wrong in his eyes, and she couldn't answer the question for a moment. Fortunately, he continued, "I wonder if your Majesty would like to reward me by going out of the house for a walk?"
She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but her heart moved when she thought that there might be someone with Jiang Huaiyang's eyes around her.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Meng Jin added, "I see that your Majesty seems to be depressed, and thinking about it for a long time is hurting her body. I have a good place to go, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. I want to enjoy it with my Majesty."
"Sorry, I was rude -"
"Sir, you enjoy the scenery generously, but you are disrespectful." She raised her head and smiled back.
Meng Jin was stunned for a moment. Maybe she didn't know it, but her crooked eyebrows, bright eyes, and white teeth seemed to have a fragrant face. Even if she didn't mean it, she was extremely attractive.
"gentlemen?"
He came to his senses and made a gesture, "Please."
Ruan Yuyi walked forward openly, her skirt flowing like a flower behind her.
.
Since we were just relaxing, we naturally didn't prepare any carriages and horses. We just called the house and chose a quieter place to go.
Before leaving, Meng Jin sent his maid to fetch the power fence, specifically asking her to put it on, saying, "If the empress doesn't cover her face, I'm afraid she will be uneasy on the way."
"Sir, you are joking." She took it and put it on without thinking too much.
Through the white gauze, only some figures can be seen.
