The performance ended two hours later. Prince Duan and the prefect were chatting happily. The female relatives proposed to go to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers. Dongfang Ye originally wanted to follow Liu Yun, but Yang Xin made a sarcastic comment. Liu Yun thought
I guess so. He followed a group of women like them, which was always strangely tight.
Although Dongfang Ye was worried, he still let Liu Yun sit with them in the courtyard and enjoy the flowers. He knew that both Ling Wan and the princess were very fond of Liu Yun, so he would always take care of her if anything happened. Besides, he was in the courtyard, and
She wasn't too far away, so I let her leave with peace of mind.
"The young Marquis really dotes on the young lady, and can't live without her even for a moment." Ruyi's smile was warm, her eyes fell on Liuyun's belly, "I heard that the young lady is also pregnant.
Months old?”
"Two months." Liu Yun's answer was very concise. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, Ling Wan and Jin Tao looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes. It was really difficult to chat with her.
I can't find a starting point at all.
"I'm almost two months old." Ruyi's voice was thin and soft. If this was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be liked by Liu Yun. Such a slender woman, not to mention arousing the pity of men, is a woman.
They can't help but want to protect her.
Yang Xin's eyes were always wandering back and forth between Liuyun and Ruyi. Lan Xi also sat aside and said nothing, as if she was an outsider. Princess Jintao and Lingwan had never been talkative, so the atmosphere was slightly tense.
.
"This is health-preserving scented tea. It is made from flowers picked by me and made from dried flowers." As she spoke, the maid had already brought the brewed tea, and the maid next to Ruyi stepped forward to pour tea for the masters.
Jintao took a sip from the cup and nodded in praise: "What a fragrant tea. Madam Ruyi's craftsmanship is quite good."
Several other people also smelled the aroma and drank tea. Only Liuyun didn't even bend down to smell it. She looked at the cup of tea placed in front of her from a distance with a calm expression.
"Young Madam, don't you like to drink scented tea?" Ruyi was a little curious. Nowadays, all the daughters of aristocratic families like to drink scented tea. She also learned it specially. She also asked about the young madam who likes to drink scented tea. Why is she sitting here indifferently?
.
"I used to like it, but now that I'm pregnant, I don't dare to drink tea casually." Liu Yun answered her calmly.
Seeing her say this, Ruyi smiled warmly and said immediately: "Don't worry, young lady, this is a mild scented tea with some healthy wolfberry in it." Seeing that she was still unmoved, she half-jokingly said
He said, "Or, the young lady is afraid that I might poison the scented tea?"
"Well, take precautions before they happen. If something happens, it will be too late." Liu Yun nodded matter-of-factly, and even Lan Xi raised his head and looked at her with a look of disbelief on his face.
Seeing Ruyi's ugly face, Liu Yun added: "There are too many things that pregnant women are taboo about, and sometimes they may accidentally consume some medicinal materials that cannot be used."
Saying this relieved Ruyi's embarrassment and showed that she was not targeting Ruyi.
"It seems that something happened in the Hou Mansion that made my sister so nervous, right?" Lan Xi showed her sisterly friendship at this moment, with a look of concern on her face, as if she really took Liu Yun seriously.
.
"It's always better to be careful when sailing a ship that lasts forever." Liu Yun didn't answer, but gave her a soft nail lukewarmly.
The atmosphere became tense again, and no one spoke anymore, silently admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
Winter has turned to spring, and although there is still a bit of chill in the courtyard, the sunshine in the afternoon is still very warm. The breeze blows on the lake, and the ripples rise slightly, twinkling with sparkles.
"What is that?" Yang Xin pointed at the purple patch of lake and asked curiously.
"That's the purple lotus. It was transplanted from the Nanming Kingdom. Originally, I ordered ten plants to be transplanted. Except for these two plants, the others withered." Ruyi's face showed disappointment, as if he was worried about the withering of the purple lotus.
And as if sad.
Yang Xin raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked towards the lake, looking at it from a distance. The faint purple looked particularly beautiful in the sun, and it also glowed with a faint light. She had never seen such a beautiful thing in the capital before.
I’ve seen it before. No wonder it’s extremely difficult to survive. Isn’t it just like a beauty’s fate?
Beside the lake are waist-high railings made of white stone, and various animals are carved on each pillar, which are lifelike and particularly beautiful.
Seeing that Yang Xin was very interested, several other people also walked to the lake and looked at the purple in the middle of the lake from a distance. Although there were only two purple lotus plants, the purple that grew up was really beautiful.
"How could Mr. Shen think of transplanting purple lotuses?" Yang Xin seemed to be very interested in purple lotuses, and secretly thought that she would find a way to get a few to grow in her yard after returning to the capital.
"I said that Ruyi is very much like a purple lotus, pure and beautiful." Lan Xi said this with a steady tone, which made Liu Yun look at her twice. This Lan Xi looked nothing like her at all.
Ruyi blushed and lowered her head, seeming a bit shy, but Liuyun raised his eyebrows and refused to comment.
For some reason, Liu Yun suddenly stepped on the hem of Ruyi's skirt. Ruyi fell forward and was about to jump over the railing and fall into the lake. Except for Lan Xi, who looked stunned beside them.
, the other three were standing on the other side, and it was absolutely too late to run over and pull her. Only Liuyun could stop her from falling forward.
At that moment, many pictures flashed through Liu Yun's mind. She also remembered what Dongfang Ye said to her, 'If there is danger, stay as far away from me as possible.' She had a hundred reasons to convince herself
Don't reach out, but there is only one reason why she can't watch Ruyi fall into the lake.
There was a child in her belly, a child less than two months old. If the child fell into the lake in March, the child would definitely not be saved. This thought only existed in Liu Yun's mind for a second, and that was it.
After a second of hesitation, Liu Yun reached out to her and held her body as she leaned forward.
"Liu Yun..." Accompanied by Ling Wan's low cry, what Dongfang Ye saw from a distance was a scene that made his eyes split open. His usually calm eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body instantly
He raised his inner strength and flew towards the lake.
Liuyun took Ruyi's arm and led her back. The unbalanced Ruyi bumped into Liuyun, and they both fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ruyi did not fall on Liuyun, but Ruyi fell.
At that moment, her body hit the potted plant placed beside the railing hard, and the pain spread. She curled up, clutching her lower abdomen and started to tremble.
Liuyun's situation was not much better than hers. She also fell to the ground, her body turned slightly sideways. Her hands were also covering her lower abdomen. Her face was pale. When she saw Dongfang Ye running over, she smiled weakly at him.
Laughing, his voice was broken and hoarse: "I'm fine."
[Author's digression]: In fact, many times saving people is completely instinctive. In such a flash of lightning, the body may have already taken action before the brain gives instructions...
