She had known that she would not be able to evade such a question, but the earrings were damaged, so she could not just ask the eldest princess for an explanation. How could she, a powerless woman, compete with these royal relatives and nobles?
If you can, hide.
What's more -
She half-raised her eyes and looked at the hem of his clothes. Besides, he had to call Zhaorong "Royal Aunt" and pay three respects, so he probably wouldn't be able to make the decision.
"The wound on the ear will not heal for a long time, so I have to wear a tea stem to heal quickly. That pair of pendants is kept in the house. If Your Highness likes it, I will take it with me. I will take it with me in a few days."
Jiang Huaiyang stared at her for a long time, until her cheeks turned red, and then he said, "Are you sure what you said is true? That pair of earrings can buy you."
I'm afraid she didn't know that her eyes would wander every time she said something against her will, so he could tell it at a glance. But the pendant was a trivial matter. If you really wanted it, you would have to ask the craftsman to make an extra pair.
He always held a cold face. If he knew that the thing was broken, he didn't know what would happen. She was frightened, but with a smile on her face, she reached out and hooked his neck, "If His Highness can't see it in a few days,
My little girl, just put yourself on it."
Because she was getting ready to go to bed, Ruan Yuyi's long black hair was now loose without any makeup. A few strands of her hair fell on the back of his hand, and when she moved, the back of his hand was slightly itchy.
Jiang Huaiyang raised his eyebrows unconsciously, without commenting. He stood up from the couch, got off the couch, turned his back to her and said, "You will sleep here tonight."
"Your Highness," she straightened up and asked suspiciously, "What about you?"
His back paused, "I'll go to the next room." After saying that, he stepped across the threshold and disappeared around the corner. The last thing he skipped was a corner of his clothes.
She lowered her eyes, a little frustrated. She lowered her body and leaned up, but she didn't see any movement on his face. Could it be that she really couldn't catch his eye so much that she would rather stay in the side room without a quilt.
Outside the house, a few steps away, Jiang Huaiyang leaned against the wall, rubbed his brows fiercely, let out a breath, and then walked into the side room.
He originally thought that maybe she could alleviate his symptoms, so he allowed her to stay. Even though he was not used to having another person lying next to him, he took it as a treatment. But if he followed her little actions, he would still have trouble sleeping tonight.
raw.
For a long time after that, Ruan Yuyi lay on her side, staring at the moonlight falling through the crack in the door. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but she was not sleepy. Finally, after struggling, she lifted the quilt and walked out of the wing.
When he turned around, he saw Wen Zhi guarding the door next door.
He also saw her, reacted for a second, then smiled and said in a breathy voice, "Miss Ruan."
She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Why are Mr. Wen here? I thought you were escorting the assassin." It was because he was here that the prince knew that the wing next door could be vacated.
"Hey, I can't bear the call of a young man from a girl. She can just call me 'Wen Zhi'." When he spoke in a lowered voice, his tone was much lower than usual. "There are so many guards here, so what's the use?"
You have to let me go. Girl, are your injuries okay?"
She was wearing the crown prince's clothes, her complexion was not too pale, and she looked like her injuries had been properly treated.
Ruan Yuyi pursed her lips and smiled casually, "Thank you for handling it well, Your Highness. By the way, Your Highness, he has already fallen asleep?" She looked into the half-opened window, but unfortunately, all she could see was darkness.
Wen Zhi replied, "Yes. Master, his headache has become more and more serious recently. Maybe he has lost a lot of energy today, so he probably fell asleep."
Her eyes wandered back and forth between the closed door and his fingertips. She pouted her lips, but she didn't know how to open her mouth, but a blush first appeared on her neck.
Wen Zhi obviously noticed it, moved away, and said proactively, "Girl, please go in, just remember to be gentle with your hands and feet." He pushed the door half open.
She nodded slightly, thanked her, lifted her skirt and entered the house.
There was no candlelight, so it was inevitably a bit dim. She approached the bed with the faint light coming from outside the door.
Jiang Huaiyang closed her eyes tightly and frowned slightly, as if she was haunted by a nightmare. Even the cold aura of the day was almost gone. She was slightly surprised in her heart, not knowing that he could still show such an expression.
demeanor.
She couldn't help but want to reach out and straighten his eyebrows. Her fingertips were about to touch his face, but she was worried about waking him up.
So she went around behind him, took off her coat, got on the bed, hugged him gently from behind, put her hand on his abdomen, and patted him silently. I don't know how long it took, but she reached
Unable to hold back my sleepiness, I also fell asleep.
She couldn't see his face, so she didn't know that the moment she hugged him, his frown relaxed.
The next day, Jiang Huaiyang woke up leisurely, stretched out his body, and touched a piece of softness. Looking sideways, he realized that Ruan Yuyi was occupying the other half of the couch, sleeping soundly. Her hair was messy, blocking most of her face, and it was faintly
The little side that was exposed also looked amazing.
No wonder I slept peacefully last night.
He was startled. He didn't expect that she would come over after leaving her next door yesterday. Yes, he said softly, the purpose of this little lady insisting on staying was not just because she felt it was inconvenient to leave.
Jiang Huaiyang said nothing, and Wen Zhi waited on him and put on his robe. As he was tying his jade belt, he heard the person behind him humming in a half-dream state. Before his eyes were fully opened, he called him softly, "Your Highness? Why are you like this?"
morning."
She reluctantly glanced at the window coffin. The window paper was dark, and it was not yet bright outside. But seeing that the prince was already up, she was too embarrassed to stay in bed any longer, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up.
Jiang Huaiyang's cold voice came from above her head, and he said to Wen Pheasant, "Go and inform her maid."
Wen Zhi responded and looked at him hesitantly for several times, as if he had something inconvenient to say.
He frowned and followed Wen Zhi out of the wing.
By the time Mu Xiang came over, he had already been gone for a quarter of an hour. Ruan Yuyi pinched the damage in her sleeves, insisted on taking the dress from her hand, and changed it herself. Mu Xiang was so worried about the last time she was forced to have her ears pierced.
, if he saw her injury, he wouldn't know what to say.
Mu Xiang saw her hand tightly grasping the sleeve of the other side, and there was doubt in her eyes, "Miss, your hand -"
She turned sideways and said vaguely, "I'm afraid these clothes will be ruined. I'll find a place to discard them on the way, so as not to bring them back home."
But the more she tried to cover it up, the more Mu Xiang began to notice something was wrong. She pressed Ruan Yuyi's shoulders, and then she saw the white silk wrapped around her wrist. Perhaps she had inadvertently pressed it because she slept deeply last night.
, now a little blood seeped out, staining a small round mark red.
It looked really horrifying, especially in contrast to the intact and smooth skin around her.
Mu Xiang took a breath of cold air, "Miss, how did you do this!"
