Chapter 171 Stop!
Shang Ruyi didn't notice the gaze behind her that was almost piercing her side. She led Eunuch Yu and the others to the side hall to drink tea. While talking, she couldn't help but be distracted.
I don’t know, what are the two people in the backyard talking about now...
What are they talking about? It's impossible to say something about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, right?
She felt a little bored, why should she care about what others said? After all, she was the one who arranged for them to go to the backyard, and she was the one who took Eunuch Yu and the others to the side hall so as not to disturb the two of them. And all of this, Isn't it the price of exchange that she had negotiated with Yu Wenye before?
Since it's an exchange, you shouldn't think too much about the money and goods!
"Young Madam...?"
Suddenly Eunuch Yu's voice rang in her ears. Shang Ruyi woke up from a dream and hurriedly raised his head: "Ah? Eunuch, what's the matter?"
The Jade Eunuch sat opposite her and looked at her, and said for a long time: "My condolences, young lady."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi was stunned. He didn't show a sad expression just now. How could he suddenly say such things to him?
So he hurriedly smiled and said: "Forgive me, father-in-law, I was a little distracted just now."
Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "Young lady is in charge of such a big place in the house at such a young age, so There are so many people, it is inevitable that I will be tired.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
The two of them were not familiar with each other, and they could only exchange polite words when they went back and forth, but Shang Ruyi could vaguely feel that this Eunuch Yu was different from the few servants he had interacted with before, and from what he said to Yu Wenye just after delivering the order From those words, it seems that the attitude towards the government of other countries is relatively friendly.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi said carefully: "Eunuch, I take the liberty to ask, why did your majesty consecrate my husband at this time?"
The Jade Eunuch smiled and said: "The second young master has been diligent in protecting the king and has made outstanding military achievements. If we don't confer him with the title, who will be conferred?"
"..."
These words are obviously perfunctory.
Shang Ruyi didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he smiled and showed modesty.
On the other hand, the Jade Eunuch looked at her with his shrewd little eyes for a while, and then said with a smile: "The Duke of the country avoids relatives because of his talents. The second son has outstanding martial arts, but he has been buried and cannot be reused. If Your Majesty does not canonize him, where will he come from? What chance does he have to make a contribution?”
“...?”
Shang Ruyi was startled.
Opportunity to make a contribution...Did Eunuch Yu say polite words, or did Chu Yang already have such an arrangement?
If there is such an arrangement, then the current opportunity seems to be only——
She suddenly felt a chill in her body, but she still had a humble and slightly smug look on her face, accompanying Eunuch Yu. While drinking tea and eating snacks, my mind couldn't help but wander far away.
When will these people leave? She was eager to tell Yu Wenye her suspicions.
As soon as this idea came up, she immediately laughed at herself for wishful thinking. Not to mention that the coming and going of people like Eunuch Yu was not up to her, but that the princess in the backyard, I am afraid that Yu Wenye was hoping She can stay with you for a long time, so how can you hope that she will leave quickly?
Speaking of which, it is really not easy for Her Royal Highness the Princess. She is in the palace, but she is always thinking about this person outside the palace. She tries every means and overcomes all difficulties and dangers to come and see him, probably. Only such tender feelings can soothe Yu Wenye's pain at this moment.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Compared with this, my pathetic "sentimentality" is not too hard.
And now, the person who is really working hard is——
Shang Ruyi glanced at Eunuch Yu again and said with a smile: "Eunuch, I have one more thing to ask Eunuch."
Gonggong Yu said: "My young lady, please ask."
Shang Ruyi said carefully: "When we were in Yanmen County before, your Majesty promised me that he would release my uncle to return to the Eastern Capital. I don't know what happened now -"
"Oh,"< br>
Eunuch Yu nodded and said: "We Everyone knows that after His Majesty returned to the palace, he immediately sent an edict to Lingnan, which was to pardon Master Shen. The edict should still be on the way, but it should not be long before it can be sent to Lingnan. Please rest assured, young lady. "
Shang Ruyi was overjoyed.
“This, this is great.”
After saying that, he said to Eunuch Yu again and again: "Thank you, Eunuch." Eunuch Yu looked at her with a smile and said with emotion: "Master Shen is lucky to have a junior like Madam who cares for him wholeheartedly."< br>
Shang Ruyi felt happy and fortunate at the same time. He said with emotion: "Ruyi has been raised by my uncle and aunt since she was a child. They are the most important people in the world to me——"
While they were talking, there was a burst of sound outside the side hall door. There were footsteps, and just when Shang Ruyi finished speaking, the footsteps stopped at the door.
Shang Ruyi turned around and saw that it was Yu Wenye!
He stood at the small door of the side hall, his tall body immediately blocking the light outside, which was not bright, giving people the feeling of a cloudy sky.
Even when Shang Ruyi met his eyes, she felt that his eyes were full of darkness.
Especially when looking at myself.
She was stunned - what's going on?
Looking behind him subconsciously, the Crescent Moon Princess dressed as a little eunuch also followed in. Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, but her emotions have calmed down now. .
Why did they end so soon?
Shang Ruyi fully thought that if they got together in the backyard, they would have to delay at least one more cup of tea.
But it’s better to do it so quickly, so as not to reveal the truth. After all, so many officials from the palace came to express their condolences. If they were found out, if it tarnished the princess’ reputation, they would all be in trouble.
Sure enough, Yu Wenye walked in with a gloomy face and said very politely to Eunuch Yu: "Eunuch, it's getting late. I'm afraid there are still many complicated matters in the palace waiting for Eunuch Yu to go back to deal with, so I will It’s worth keeping my father-in-law.”
Eunuch Yu quickly stood up and said with a smile: “The general is so polite.”
After saying that, he walked to Princess Crescent Moon, whispered a few words, and then left.
Shang Ruyi naturally got up and followed him out to see off the guests. When he reached the gate, Aunt Hui came up to him and gave Eunuch Yu a box, saying that he had prepared some cakes for them to eat on the way. But looking at the heavy look on the side of the little eunuch when he took it, it was obvious that it was not just a pastry, but Eunuch Yu understood it and took it with a smile.
Just when they were being polite, a sweet and soft voice sounded in Shang Ruyi's ears -
"Thank you."
Shang Ruyi felt slightly sad As soon as he moved and turned his head, he met those clear eyes that were still a little red.
It's the Crescent Princess.
I saw her standing aside. Although she was wearing a futou robe and was not eye-catching, but if you look closely at that bright and pretty face, even as a woman, you can't help but feel that it is pleasing to the eye, and you can even feel a little bit unable to move. Open your eyes.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of them have faced each other directly.
Although Shang Ruyi's emotions were complicated, he was still quite polite when facing her, with a hint of respect in his politeness, and whispered: "Your Highness, you are so polite."
When facing her Looking polite and distant, Chu Ruoyan hesitated for a while and then said: "I didn't want him to be too sad, so I came to visit him and comfort him. We didn't do anything wrong. I hope you don't..."
The golden princess didn't seem to know how to say the next words.
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, feeling a little astringent for a moment.
Sure enough, only if two people are in love with each other like this, can they travel thousands of miles without regrets. And the innocence and openness of the two of them made it seem that the random thoughts they just had were too unbearable.
Furthermore, she did not expect that the princess, who was clearly considered to be a noble person, would be so polite and a little cautious when speaking to her, as if she was afraid of offending herself.
Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness is serious."
At this time, Eunuch Yu and the others had finished their greetings, and everyone walked out. Chu Ruoyan gave Yu Wenye one last reluctant look, and followed them.
Shang Ruyi stood at the door, watching their carriage disappear at the end of the long street.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked inside.
But as soon as he took a step, he heard Yu Wenye's cold voice from behind: "Stop!"
