Since Yinzhen left that day, he has never stepped into Lan Yue Ju again, let alone visited Ling Ruo. It seems that he does not remember that there is such a person at all. Those who originally planned to curry favor with Ling Ruo gave up the plan after seeing this.
The idea of turning to please the Ye family, because on December 29th, the government officially announced that the Ye family was promoted to the side of Fujin and moved to Liuyun Pavilion.
When the news reached Ling Ruo's ears, she just laughed it off, as if she didn't take it to heart, but Mo Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "I really don't know what Mr. Beile thinks. In terms of appearance and character, I don't know how the girl is better than him."
So Ye Gege, but Lord Beile doesn't even look at the girl."
Ling Ruo smiled and put down the half-embroidered double-sided colorful peonies in her hand, glanced at her and said, "It's time to change your name to Ye Fujin, otherwise it will inevitably lead to another physical pain. I haven't given up the losses I suffered last time."
Do you have a long memory?"
"This slave just can't stand her complacency." Mo Yu stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice.
"She has her own ability to be promoted by Lord Beile, not to mention that she is just a concubine. It does not prove how much Lord Beile likes her." Ling Ruo put down the embroidery shed and stood up, looking at the unpredictable clouds on the horizon, and sighed in her heart.
The more time goes by, the less confident she becomes. Has Yinzhen really forgotten her?
On New Year's Eve in the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign, Baylor Mansion held a family banquet as usual. However, the princesses were not allowed to attend and could only spend it alone in the Moon Palace.
Although no one would come, Mo Yu still cleaned the house spotlessly, cut out various window grilles and pasted them on them, and also got a pair of big red lanterns from someone unknown and hung them under the eaves, which at least added a few extra touches.
Different seasons.
"Girl, which outfit do you think is better?" Mo Yu took out a honey-colored flag suit and a pink flag suit and asked Ling Ruo, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror combing her hair.
"Everything you wear is the same, why bother choosing." Ling Ruo seemed a little uninterested, and the comb teeth slowly slid through the black and silky hair.
"Today is New Year's Eve, how can it be the same? Although they are not new clothes, they are more festive at least." Mo Yu insisted that she choose one outfit, but Ling Ruo couldn't stand it and had to choose the honey-colored clothes and the other one.
Put it away to wear tomorrow.
After changing her clothes, Mo Yu carefully combed Ling Ruo's hair into a swallow's tail. In addition to a few emerald flowers, she also picked up the butterfly love flower silver hanging tassel and tied it on the swallow's tail.
"Hey, my sister is so dressed up today." A clear voice sounded from behind. Looking back, I saw Wen Ruyan standing at the door, smiling sweetly.
Wen Ruyan is a woman as graceful as water. She may not be so dazzling, but she has an extremely restrained elegance and calmness, and when we get along with her, she releases her unique charm bit by bit.
If it hadn't been for her that day, Ling Ruo might have passed away, so after she recovered from her illness, she went to express her gratitude, and the two have been in contact since then.
"Sister, why are you free to come here today?" Ling Ruo greeted her with a smile, took her hand and walked into the house together.
Wen Ruyan said with a smile: "This Chinese New Year is free and I don't know what to do, so I thought of coming over to play a game of chess with you. I wonder if my sister is interested?"
"My sister is so elegant, so I should accompany her. However, my chess skills are not good, so I will have to give in a little bit when the time comes." After saying this, he called Mo Yu to put the chessboard and brought the chess pieces. The result of guessing the piece was Ling Ruozhi.
White is as warm as words and holds black.
The chess pieces fell alternately on the chessboard, and the fight was inextricable for a while. Wen Ruyan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "You still lied to me and said that you are not good at chess. Isn't that great?"
Ling Ruo smiled and called out: "I don't dare to lie to my sister. It's not because I'm afraid that my sister will be bored if she wins too quickly, so I tried my best to play. If I worry too much and grow gray hair, my sister will have to compensate me."
"Where did you learn to be so glib?" Wen Ruyan took a sip of tea from Su Yun and said suddenly, "Has Lord Beile never been here again?"
Ling Ruo's hand holding the chess piece froze, and the chess piece accidentally slipped from her fingers. It rolled around on the chess board and then stopped. She raised her head, and the winter sunshine shone through the window paper on her lightly painted cheeks.
, as if coated with a layer of halo, "Sister, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
His fingers slowly caressed each chess piece, and an elegant voice slowly sounded in his ears: "I'm worried about you. Ye has become a concubine. You and her have always had a rift. Now she has not yet stood firm, so she can't make a move.
When it comes to you, once she solidifies her position, I'm afraid you will be the first person she can't tolerate. But now the only person who can be your talisman is Lord Belle. Although I have the intention, I am powerless.
Her sincere words made Ling Ruo feel a little warm in her heart, and she said truthfully: "I know, but I can't help it if Master Baylor doesn't want to come. Maybe he doesn't like me."
"That's not necessarily the case." Wen Ruyan took a chess piece and played with it in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "You are a very beautiful woman. Once I have seen you, I will not forget it easily. I have met Nian before, and you are good enough in terms of appearance.
Compared with her. In fact, I don't understand why your family background and appearance are just out of character."
Ling Ruo remained silent, and the room suddenly became extremely quiet. Even the breathing sounds of Mo Yu and the others could be clearly heard. After a long time, she said with a faint sarcasm: "Maybe I am destined to be a princess."
"No, you're not." Ignoring Ling Ruo's surprised look, she shook her head and said, "When I was young, there was a fortune teller who lived in my house for a while. When I had nothing to do, I learned some fortune-telling skills from him, and used it to read.
People are somewhat accurate, but I don’t think my sister’s face will be the kind of person who will live a mediocre life.”
"Then according to sister, what is my fate?" Ling Ruo asked casually with a smile.
Wen Ruyan looked at her carefully, shook her head and said, "I can't tell. Judging from her face, my sister's destiny should be extremely precious, but it also carries a sign of great evil, which is really hard to figure out."
"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Things like fate are too vague and vague. You can't be sure if it doesn't happen. It's useless to think about it too much." At this point, Ling Ruo changed the subject and pointed at the chessboard with a smile: "
Sister, now you should think about how to play this game well. If you lose to your sister, you will be punished. How about you tell me what the punishment should be?"
Su Yun pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Ling Gege hasn't finished playing the chess game yet. How do you know that the loser must be my girl? If it is you, wouldn't it be punished on your own head?"
Ling Ruo flicked Su Yun's forehead with her finger, feigning anger and said: "You are the most evil girl. You are afraid that I won't admit the loss if I lose. You are willing to bet and willing to admit defeat. There is no reason to default on the account."
Mo Yu thought for a long time and said: "Today is New Year's Eve, why not make dumplings for free?" She begged some dumpling skins and meat fillings from the kitchen early this morning, planning to make dumplings later, and they just needed them now.
.
Ling Ruo and Wen Ruyan looked at each other and both thought this was a good idea. They immediately turned their minds back to the chess game. There was a bet and the game was naturally played particularly brilliantly. You came and I played for an hour before we finally figured it out.
The outcome was decided, and in the end Ling Ruo narrowly won the game by half a piece.
"It seems that this time I am destined to eat the dumplings made by my sister. I will have to eat a few more later." Ling Ruo was very happy, smiling and frowning.
The midday sun was bright and dazzling, sending warmth all over her body. Wen Ruyan stroked her face and said, "Usually you seem to be a pretty steady person. Why are you so happy about a trivial matter this time? You are so happy after winning me."
Are you happy?"
"I'm not happy because I won my sister, but because it's great to have my sister by my side." There were no gorgeous words, only simple words, but Wen Ruyan was deeply moved. She knew that at this moment, Ling Ruo was really
Treat her like a sister
To say something like this, in this deep house and compound, although there are sisters everywhere, they are often polite on the surface but stabbing behind their backs. Even biological sisters may turn against each other. It is extremely luxurious to truly have a sisterly relationship.
