Qingchuan History

Chapter 106 One Thing Drops One Thing ([-])
This Ruan Xueyin didn't know at all, because Chunfeng didn't mention a word.

"She met someone outside the palace, fell in love with her very much, and threatened to marry him."

She, of course, refers to Gu Chunfeng, that's why it matters.

"That person, did he come from a bad background? Or is there a problem with his identity?"

"The man's name is Ying Zhong."

Ruan Xueyin roughly searched the roster of the Qi family family in her mind, but there was no such person, not even this surname.

"Never heard of it."

"That person stayed in Jidu for more than two months, and now he has left."

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows: "He's gone? He's not from Qi country? Then he and His Highness are——Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Very sad. Because I was sad, I was bumped into by the eldest princess, which exposed the fact that I sneaked out of the palace every month."

Ruan Xueyin was even more surprised.From when Chunfeng went to Zhexue Palace to look for her until just now, she didn't get any clues related to this message from the other party's words at all. In other words, half of the sad look on her face was because of this, and she understood it as Is it all for Ah Pei?
"Is it because that person knows that his status is low and he is not worthy of His Highness?"

Gu Xinglang didn't seem to hear this question at all, and continued to describe it to her:

"When that man was in Jidu, he lived in Quan Street all the time. I heard that he is tall, handsome, and has an excellent demeanor, but he is a little gloomy." He glanced at Ruan Xueyin, "Gloom is what Ah Pei said, and Chunfeng didn't say anything about it." That's how the eldest princess described it."

Ying Zhong, Quan Street, and those characteristic keywords, especially the word gloomy, seem to have been heard somewhere recently.

Nine days ago, in Zhexue Palace, he came to tell her that he went to Tongrong Hall.

Ruan Xueyin's face suddenly changed: "It's him?"

"It's almost the same. It is said that he left around September [-]th, that is, two days after I saw him. You said no, I spread the word that he didn't need to wait any longer, so he left. The time was exactly the same. He He said that he had been living in the inn on Quan Street before. I know Chunfeng’s vision, and she looks down on ordinary people. The most important thing is that his name is Ying Zhong.”

Hard versus soft, Ruan Zhonghua Ying Zhong, although absurd, can only be interpreted in this way.Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence?

Ruan Xueyin took a deep breath and looked at him fixedly: "Do you suspect that he did it on purpose?"

"I was going to be so skeptical."

"result?"

"Since he has a sweetheart who can force the palace to kill his father, maybe he won't."

"He said those things, are you looking into them?"

Gu Xinglang narrowed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, looking a little tired: "His background was at least 22 years ago, so it will take some work. But my sweetheart," he took a sip of tea from the white jade cup, Su Si: "It is said that before he became king and opened his mansion, he lived in seclusion in the palace and seldom interacted with people, let alone women. After he became king, he has never married a wife. This is the only evidence to support his statement."

That day in Zhexue Temple, they didn't discuss the details, so Ruan Xueyin didn't know the story, and apparently Gu Xinglang was not interested in telling a love story in detail.

"So, didn't find out?"

"No."

"It stands to reason that he has few contacts, and he can always circle the area, especially women."

"That's why it's strange that there's not even a shadow. He said that when he was eight years old, that girl said something to him, which changed the direction of his life since then."

"Eight years old? I still remember it."

Gu Xinglang was a little speechless: "Why, you don't remember anything about being eight years old?"

Ruan Xueyin thought about it: "I can't say I don't remember it. It's just that I live in Pengxi Mountain all year round, and my daily life is almost the same. After a long time, my memory will be confused. For example, I always feel that I had a baby when I was six or seven years old. Seriously ill, coughing every night and unable to sleep, but the teacher told me that it happened when I first entered Pengxi Mountain when I was four years old."

"You still remember when you were four years old. It's strange that people remember what happened when you were eight years old."

"But I misremembered the time. And I was a serious illness for several months, and I suffered endless pain, so I naturally remember it deeply. If you want to say what someone else said to me, even if you have an impression, it will not be too clear gone."

"But you remember every word Master Ji Ji taught you."

"That's learning. It's different."

"Perhaps for him, the memory of childhood that was so gloomy that it was almost painful was too deep, so those words that seemed to be the only light in the darkness made him remember to this day."

This statement makes sense.Ruan Xueyin agreed, a little curious about what the girl said, and felt that it was easy to digress, so she didn't ask.

"He was in Yin Palace when he was eight years old, it seems that the girl is from the palace."

Gu Xinglang nodded: "I think so too." He glanced at her, then at the chair she used to sit on before, and motioned for her to sit down.

Ruan Xueyin has already entered the conversation, and sat down according to the words, only listening to him continue:
"But there are girls in Yin Palace who are about the same age as him, and there are two identities: princess, or court lady. If she is a palace lady, she has already reached the marriageable age, why doesn't she ask Mr. Yin to ask for it? And for the sake of a court lady, why do you have to call the emperor the emperor?"

He seemed to have already figured this out, and he said it now just to gain approval and let her hear if there were any loopholes.

"How old is Ruan Moxi younger than you?"

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows: "Two years old. She just turned [-] at the beginning of the year, and she was also married. That's why everyone thought that the Yin Congress would send her here. You don't know her basic information?"

Gu Xinglang was puzzled: "Why should I know?"

"It's almost her who is sitting here now."

"If she came, she might still live in Zhexue Palace, but she might not be able to sit here."

The implication is that because of Ruan Xueyin's level, he will sit here and discuss things with her.This is a compliment.

She was slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to respond, but she heard him continue: "I'll see whoever comes. If it's a prince or daughter, I'll go and find out, and I don't have to do other things." He was thoughtful, and didn't intend to digress, "You are two years younger than Ruan Zhong, and Ruan Moxi is two years younger than you. Then when Ruan Zhong was eight years old, you were six years old, and Ruan Moxi was four years old."

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows again: "What are you thinking? The latter two are his sisters."

The latter two seem to be without her.He is not surprised by her attitude of staying out of the matter, and he doesn't care:

"If what he said about parentage is true, you are not his sister. Probably not related by blood."

indeed.

"You only go back once or twice a year, but Ruan Moxi is always there. She is very likely."

Ruan Moxi is a well-known beauty, the jewel in the palm of Yin Jun's precious palm, for her, it makes sense.And if Ruan Zhongruo continues to be King Rui, Ruan Moxi will be accused of getting married sooner or later, and will always be his sister in name.Only when the mutiny forced the palace, or even the dynasty changed, his and Ruan Moxi's identities would change, and he could marry her.

But this is too bold an assumption.
